This song is about a middle aged drunk. Slowly, he's realized that he's hurt everyone that cares about him, and been a selfish, drunk prick his whole life. It's too late for him though. He sees these things, but he lacks the willpower to change, so he just sits at the bar in southie, drinking with the other guys who are just like him.
Casey grew up surrounded by these guys, and he's seen his friends turn into them over the decades.
