I think one of the best parts of this song is the very begning,

"She got out of town On a railway New York bound Took all except my name"

I love this part, its like he is saying look she took everything with her, all of me, but not my name. I see a small town where a boy and a girl grew up in love and he is saying stay with me, be with me forever. Instead she leaves, taking his heart, his dreams, his love.

I also really like the part where he says,

"I got a hole in me now, I got a scar I can talk about."

its like he is showing how real it is to him and how much he is willing to share about his feelings.
