It’s a song about a man reflecting back on his darker days and moving on from them nowadays. He knows he no longer needs the things from his dark days and that brighter ones are ahead so because of that he needs to move forward
this part of song is clearly indicating it:
"Misfits, drunks and Philistines
I've been all before
But I know that I don't
Need them anymore
Hey…
Dark days behind me
Hope the good days don't blind me"
and in this part of the song you can clearly understand he is talking about hope for the future and he's saying don't worry about the past:
"Wipe the dust from my saddle
Like an old familiar friend
Life and time will pass you by
Don't worry ‘bout the shit
That you can't mend
Wash the troubles from my mind
I know they'll never end
Futures looking brighter
We can always ride again"
