It's about the strains that becoming famous can cause, especially as it relates to touring and relationships. The person you were with was, and still is, a big fan and supporter, but they are content to stay where they are. It kind of has a "please come to Boston" feel in some respects. It seems like the person on the other end of this is still the "number one fan of the man from Tennessee". As an FYI, I believe some of thee lyrics are wrong - it's "what's the point of fame if it's been abused", "nothing hurts like an answered phone", and "play your 45 records late at night".
I like this interpretation, partially because im on the other side of this song. Partner off travelling with his band whilst i have to stay home. Its not that i want to stay, but that commitments make me, but its hard, and i understand what he's saying.

"Answer phone" is another name for answering machine. Which makes sense in the context of the song. Nothing hurts like calling someone when you feel in need of some company or a friendly voice, and you get an answering machine.
