This song always has, and always will make me bawl.
As a child, my mother was an alcoholic and I only lived with her until I was nine. She always played this song when she was drinking. And the sentimental value of it is endless.
I remember watching MTV when I was young, and Rob said this song was about his mom coming home drunk. So as a child, I could really relate.
My mom used to get drunk in the summer, stuff me in the car, and drive around the river at night listening to this. When I hear this song, I can still smell dirt and rust.
'She says it's cold outside and she hands me my raincoat; she's always worried about things like that.'
My mom was always worried and focused on the small things, never her addiction.
'She says it's all gonna end and it might as well be my fault.'
My mom often blamed me for her addiction.
'It's 3 A.M., I must be lonely'
It was around 3 A.M. that she made me go on these drives. I was in second grade, and it was often on school nights. But God, would I try so hard to stay up for her...
@s4v4nn4h1 Man, this got tears welled in my eyes because my parents struggled with addiction too and I was like, "Shit, I wasn't the only one." Way to stay strong though.

@s4v4nn4h1@s4v4nn4h1 I stumbled across this today and just wanted to say, "WOW." Loss for words after reading your perfectly detailed short letter. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing and I hope/pray your relationship with your mother is amazing and wonderful today. You are strong.

Any of those interpretations could work.
