My favorite Kenny Chesney song. I love the way the lyrics and the melody blend together. Like they were meant for each other and are inseparable. And so descriptive. Anyway here is the meaning according to Clint Eastwood.
When he says "So tonight I hope that I will do just fine" he is hoping that he can be the same friend they have been in the short time they have been together.
But it sucks because he really, really wants her and he can't see her being with the real boyfriend.

The key to this is that Mary's got a boyfriend already and it's not him. How are all you people missing this? So he and Mary have become really close friends (and maybe lovers but I think not) and would be a real couple except for her boyfriend (fiancée?). He and Mary are probably the same age and the boyfriend is older (sound familiar?) and she can't leave the boyfriend because he probably has a job and real prospects or whatever.

Great song!
