I agree to disagree with everyone. I think the lyrics posted are not 100 percent correct.
I think this song is about his father's relationship with women over the course of his childhood and him looking back on it now to an extent. I believe the main message of the song is about his relationship with his father. It sounds to me like he loved one in particular but his father didn't really know her because he stayed drunk. (likely his mom) I think he grew to envy the women his father brought home. This is where the line "Easy enough to just look at her whole world on a silver platter" comes in. He then goes on to talking about lending a hand in shame. Talking about himself because he was alive he couldn't be hidden from new women.I think toward the end he is speaking to his father. All the women are now gone because his father is old and it gets harder to pick up random women as you grow older. He is trying to put the past behind them and move forward holding hands. Because he probably now drinks to. I would have to know more about his life to say anymore. I can't tell if his father is dead or still alive. But that is my thought on this song. I don't think it has as much to do with women as it does about his relationship to his father.
Small time I think is small town
The phrase
Whole world on a silver platter
Was that that bad for me
If I was there the scotch is free
should be
Whole world on a silver platter
What's that? Is that for me?
If I would set his concience free.
I also think the last line is
We'll never try as we bleed.
(meaning we will never try to change as we are still alive)
