I dunno but I get the feeling this song is about a soldier and the downsides of being in the war. Such as not being able to spend time with your family.
Good point, GreenCorn. I wondered about the "You're not really mad at Iran or Afghanistan" part. At first listen, I assumed maybe it was just about an average middle aged working man stuck in a routine he's starting to hate. Like it could be any one of us. But that first line suggests it could be about a soldier. Possibly an Iraq vet.

I always struggle with musicians telling working people they shouldn't waste their lives at their jobs. For many, this is not a choice. For many others, BEING ABLE to work is a gift.
