Remember, this was written by Deaner when he was around 20 years old. Back when they were unknown and he was just a gas jockey, in the same vein as Pumpin' 4 The Man. A friend of theirs left them behind to go to college, but failed out, started selling pot and mooching off people, and came back looking to Deaner for help. Deaner doesn't feel too sympathetic for the guy and doesn't have a lot to give him. Charlie probably didn't have time when he was in college, and now he's back looking for Deaner's help, who's been stuck in New Hope pumping gas all this time.
Charlie's the irresponsible college dropout, while Deaner's the poor, hard working guy who doesn't feel too sorry for him, i.e, "just call your friends at college, wonder why you didn't stay, my boss is coming down soon Chuck, he's drunk so you can't stay".
