To me this song is about the contrast between the speaker and Lisa, who might be his wife.
In the town I'm from its pretty normal that people go to the local bar and get drunk and make a fool of yourself in general; the last one I bothered going to, the girl whos birthday we were celebrating was, by the end of the night, a mess and being taken advantage of men. And this will likely happen every year for those people, and that seems a sad life to me.
The speaker always knows when its lisas birthday when she phones him:
"It's always Lisa's birthday when I get that call
Her car's not where she parked it it's with her wallet and her phone"
I think the speaker shares my view on the birthday at the bar.
