To me , this song is about his cancer. My theory could be completely wrong- Im not even sure he knew he had cancer when he wrote this song, but afterall it is just a theory.

'My feet is my only carriage so I've got to push on through but while I'm gone (I mean it) ev'rything's gonna be allright'

That verse explains it really! He has to push on through but is telling his lover not to cry while he is gone... It sounds like he is going through his happy memories, remembering what a good life he has had. Hmm, reading through what i have wrote it seems i haven't explained it too well! I think you'll understand what i mean. Just an opinion.
