It is a shame Greg's music has been relegated to the TV soundtrack sub-genera as his first record shows he has the potential to be so much more. Do What I Can hits home hard and often ends up on repeat because of the way it makes me feel.
I don't see anything mysterious here: The "lady" is his mom and "Jim" is his dad. The first verse comforts her and the second comforts him. The bridge puts them all in the same boat.
I adore this song and any other budding adult male who has come to terms with his parents and his own screwed up past feels the same way I am sure. I met Greg when he played in Austin last year - very humble man.
