For me the importance of this song is in the 'we'. The fact that the people in the song do all of these things together shows that they have a bond- How many people are willing to break into mobile homes with you? Go out in stormy weather?

It sounds like these people are so in sync that they'd have to be lovers, soul mates, or best friends. "And that's the way to my heart"... Even when life is tough they have a way of doing things that only they understand, and may be wrong, but that's the way they get by.
