To me, personally, this song respresents a meaningful interpretation of a son who is trying to leave home because his mother is just not giving him the kind of love and understanding he needs and he is torn, because he loves his mother even though he never showed it to her but neither did she to him. She is trying to cause him guilt for leaving and is trying to use her so-called love (apron strings around his neck), which she was empty of in the first place, to keep him home. And now that he has finally decided to leave, he is heartbroken because, even though he knows its for his own good, his mother wouldnt let him go for her own selfish need of trying to fulfill her emotional emptyness through him, which she was never satisfied with in the first place even when he showed his love to her.
Whoa, I took this to a whole new level didnt I, lol.
Sure did, but no one else actually explained themselves properly/consistently. ; )

This song sounds incredibly good like other classics, fade to black, nothing else matters. Deep down these Metal gods are softies/human, very in touch with their emotions, nothing wrong with that. This song is so country though...
could have done without the slide guitar, country signature sound.

Very brave man James is for writing something so honest. That the love he didn't receive from his mother caused the rebellion in him.

Often occurs with marital breakdown -the parent looks to the child to fulfil the parent's needs (that they aren't getting from their partner).
