i doubt this is what it means, but what it could mean is that there was this guy they knew in high school or college or something, and he wasn't exactly the nicest guy around, and the narrartor befriended him, but he kind of was a jerk and backstabbed the narrorator. the narrorator probably told him about GOD or something, and then later on in life when this guy is an afterthought, the narrorator is in the country of illinois and he sees this guy broken down who is a bum, and its the same guy from earlier. now all of sudden the guy wants to be the narrorators friend when he has nothing left, when he doesnt have GOD. then the narrorator says 'i guess you don't have faith' and drives on.
i doubt its what it means but its a wicked song.
