the only lyric i noted as being wrong was
"in a couple hours from now we're gunna get out of this light"

its about doing anything for your friends, no matter what the cost may or will be. the character was even willing to pick up and start a new life for a friend. i think his carry through of cowboy theme is just plain Bon Jovi, he is a bit of a cowboy and it comes through a lot in many of his songs.

While so many songs out there talk about standing up for your friends and fighting for them, this is in a class of its own.
