I go to the Ryan Adams website every other day just to hear the tune (since the only other content is tour dates and a little merch). Great song. Ryan has a tremendous ability to say so much with just a few words.
As for this song, I think there is a real struggle between the man that is and the man that wants to be. He knows that alcohol is slowing killing him and creating all kinds of problems in his life, but its always there as an escape.
The man is looking for something divine, in the shape of a woman, to come down and rescue him. I've seen this theme in several Adams' tunes.
