This song is Johnny Cash personified ... living life the hard way and telling it the way it is. I don't think it's about some drunk burnout, I think it's about JC and his inability to draw the line even though he so clearly sees the mess he has created around him. Best line was already pointed out ... "I'm wishing lord that I was stoned, cause there is something in a sunday that makes the body feel alone." He's so far gone that he doesn't know where to turn. Even when he turns to god he's not looking to change his life, just a way out of how he's feeling. Great song, not so great to live it though.
