Well, early in the mornin'
'Til late at night
I got a poison headache
But I feel all right
I'm pledging my time
To you
Hopin' you'll come through, too

Well, the hobo got too high
And it came down natur'lly
He stole my baby
And he wanted to steal me
But I'm pledging my time
To you
Hopin' you'll come through, too

Won't you come with me, baby?
I'll take you where you wanna go
And if it don't work out
You'll be the first to know
I'm pledging my time
To you
Hopin' you'll come through, too

Well, the room is so stuffy
I can hardly breathe
Ev'rybody's gone but me and you
And I can't be the last to leave
I'm pledging my time
To you
Hopin' you'll come through, too

Well, they sent for the ambulance
And one was sent
Somebody got lucky
But it was an accident
Now I'm pledging my time
To you
Hopin' you'll come through, too

    Sounds to me like it's about the harms of alcohol - 'poison headache' (hangover), 'everybody's gone but me and you' (all-night drinking), hobos are associated with alcoholism - maybe pissed his money away on booze. Sounds to me like the speaker escaped addiction and now he's trying to help a friend out of it
