I don't know you could get all metaphysical with this and find hidden meanings if you play it backwards but to me it's just one of the simplest, prettiest love songs. Behind every good man you find a real great woman... They sound like an older couple and he finds that anything is possible including the heat in Houston in July, getting up when he'd rather stay in bed and having to work for a living so long as she holds his hands. Him remembering at the end the first time they met would send his woman sky high with admiration too I reckon. Beautiful song from one of my all time favorite albums.
