To me this is about compulsive behavior. I know I can relate. We try, but we just don't know how to do the right thing -- somewhere along the way we "slipped off track." I, too, find this a chillingly good song, and while I feel for what fordtrucker has been through, I don't think it's about a guy "being man enough" to get over it. Rather, it's about a guy who cheats and lies for some temporary lovin', and regrets it again and again.
