Okay this my first and maybe last 'what does this mean'. I'm writing because a previous post had the song being about a depressed person singing about a depressing situation of being poor. I think not.
No one sings of bluebirds in a depressed state, maybe ravens, but never bluebirds.
'Mr, Bluebird on my shoulder...'
What we have is a happy go lucky (funky) flake who has all these dreams that never really pan out. Still he gets up in the morning and goes to work hoping to catch a big break that will probably never happen...'Oh, what can it mean' refers to the meaning of it all...life. His eternal sunny disposition is not shared by his mate, a former home coming queen, who was won over by his dreams, but isn't happy with the reality of them being poor. Still says today is a new day and who knows maybe this will be the lucky one that turns it all around. Don't give up on me Jean and don't give up on my dreams!
Really listen to Davy's voice, listen to the underlying hope and happiness that hope brings. The song is spiritual.
RonLee, with that name you surely are from the south (South Carolina, perhaps:) and you know how to spin a good tale. I'm guessing hubbyhw is kin to ya ;) All that creativity in one gorgeous body... it's TRULY unfair. But at least it makes me chuckle. Thanks, Billy Bob:)

regardless, hubby makes a good point, the dream sounds to good for depression. I have depression and can agree that dreams aren't this good when avoiding the real world. more important maybe, but not this good.

So, put your self loathing back up and use it to do some valid self-improvement.

Good interpretation, I'd never thought of it that way. Thanks.
