The song is not about going on tour -- it's about drug running. The point of view is the drug runner. He's talking to the people in his life and explaining why he has to do this for a living. It's not meant to be uplifting, because even though he promises he'll be back in November, there's still that reference in the opening to other runners who don't come back. It's depressing, because this guy might end up being one of them.
