Hmmm, I've always wondered what this song was about. I think it's definitely pretty sexual, I get the sense that it's maybe about having an affair for the thrill of it but then realising how stupid it was when the excitement starts to fade.
"You'll never get to heaven with your shirt all tore" and the rest of song from "Running to catch up" I think suggests cheating on someone and trying to hide it.
"Cut off your finger and cut you loose" was the line that made me think of it originally, it seems like the cutting off a finger is psychological, a way to get rid of your wedding ring and free you to do what you want.
And then "Now it aint such a thrill" is losing the excitement, and "you'll never get damn thing back" is that you've gone and ruined your relationship because of it.
