I love this song. The intimacy of its tone, "Grab your coat, let's get out of here" is very moving.
Warren's self awareness, "I was born to rock the boat," has always been one of his most endearing qualities, and here in this song, he understands that his best friends, the ones who are not insincere, stand behind him and that he is safe with them even when "lightning flashed and thunder followed". It is his rebelliousness that they love about him: "Your're my witness; I'm your mutineer."
It is my completely unsubstantiated belief that he wrote this song with his good friend Carl Hiaasen in mind.
