This song is Joey's advice to his son (if he had a son - I think he actually does now). I think it's saying that it's important to build strong relationships with people that you know you can depend on. Also to be kind to, and thoughtful of, others. If they cast you out, don't waste time on them, because they are not going to reciprocate your friendship. Still, be kind to them; humble them. But focus your energy on strong relationships with those who will lend you support, as you would to them, when needed.
