This is one of those songs I feel a real closeness to. Theme song or whatever. A coming of age tale that somehow fits with how my life spread itself out. Oh, music!
The lines about wanting a ring to hock reminds me of those relationships you have that, while not solidified by marriage or anything, when they fall apart, you wish you had a wedding ring you could hock just to make a statement that you're ready to move on.
As for the last verse, yum. One of my favorite in any song. The bit about thanking god for his fingers, I love that. How clever!! Thankful both for his talent with the guitar as an escape, and for providing some great memories of playing something else...heh. :P
Also, it's amusing to me that this song was submitted on my birthday.
