I get this feeling that the song is about a childhood love... Margery.
"The alleys of a childhood
Will not release us willingly"
He still has feelings for her. Or always has. And I think he takes the train back to Kentucky where she lives and finds her about to get married or engaged or something and it's like she's rammed a knife through his heart.
Then I think the part about Anna is perhaps to do with a similar thing that happens with Anna. Though I think Anna was more about how she was cheating on her fiancé with him, so there was never much hope (my interpretation). I think he finds himself in love with these people and then, probably because he's always away on tour and such, they find somebody else who's more stable.
I think this song is kinda... self pitying in a way. Like "Oh, I never get the girl... boo hoo". But I still like it all the same.
