This is a song about Chrissie Hynde's friendship with John McEnroe , as per the segment below . I think she let him up on stage with his guitar (at least once if I've got the story right).

Cheers, James

"He was always getting in trouble in those days, but was such a nice guy when you got to know him," she reflected. "I imagined him singing it."
