Not sure what this one is about exactly, but a great closer to a really good album.
Before reading your lyrics I thought he was saying "with Bartles and james, didn't need no first names", thinking he meant that people were drinking together but I actually think you're correct and it refers more to possibly the commercials which used to feature B&J products.
Although, I'm thinking he actually says "our own laws and favor" rather than in favor.. meaning, they could decide what's right and wrong based on their own opinions. Small detail, but certainly changes the line.
I guess knowing those parts makes it more clear, but i'm still torn between two ideas here:
1) it sounds like this is about reminiscing to older times when people didn't need the government to tell them how to live, to make laws up about every little thing. You just took care of yourself and your neighbors and they did the same, and that was a much simpler way to live. The B&J idea then refers to the two old men sitting on the porch just being neighborly.
2) There's also some bigger references here I think about how he may be searching for a soul-mate type person? The light on the porch for someone and line about every house not a home and dare does he roam makes me think he's continuing to look for the perfect person to complete himself.
Interesting song. Maybe it all means nothing though and it just rhymed nicely. :)
