I'm reading the comments and it seems like most people interpret this as him having a girl break up with him or something, but the first line makes me think someone close to him died? "He's pining for her in a people carrier", just the fact that people refer to coffins as "the old pine box" and how a coffin would be carrying a person... Just a thought, I don't know if it's correct. I just happened upon this song, and an old friend of mine passed away early yesterday morning and it just fit the scenario a bit..
