    This song tells the story of a man whose marriage fell apart due to his drinking. He and his wife got married young and never had much money. When he lost his job, they really struggled and he started drinking heavily, which led to fights between the couple. Unable to watch her husband destroy himself, the wife left with their children. After living with her brother for a while and working in a bar, she received a letter from her ex-husband saying he wanted to see her. She agreed to meet with him, paying for his bus fare. On the day of their meeting, the man arrived at her door sore and shaking, unsure if he could repair their relationship and reconnect with his children after everything that had happened.
