Seriously, am I the only one who thinks this song is about losing his virginity? I mean, "When I crept to her tent with a flashlight And my long years of innocence ended". The way I see it, he talks about coming from a small town, going to the big city as a very young man, trying to find something new to follow and lead him to a better place. Then he finds a girl. THAT changed his life forever! No one forgets losing their virginity... And the fingers part? Maybe because the something that felt so good that she showed him in the woods could only be expressed by playing his guitar. How else can you describe that feeling? :)
He is remembering when he was completely down and out. He met a girl who accepted him, and loved him; and this completely changed his outlook. By the end of the song, instead of feeling "destitute" he felt thankful just for being alive, and whole.
