Subject: RE: Powerful Songs That Make You Uneasy - 2
Meself: You got me thinking. Here's the whole verse.

So alone in the lights on stage every night
I've been reaching out to find a friend
Who knows all the words, sings so she's heard
And knows how all the stories end
Maybe after the show she'll ask me to go
Home with her for a drink or two
Now her smile lights her eyes, but Honey, all I see is you

I understand why you would want to defend the man and I'm not knocking you when I say that. Stan has been blessed with a great deal of loyalty from Nova Scotians.
My interpretation of the last verse leaves me with the belief that it's about fooling around. If you care to offer me a more favourable interpretation, I will read it with an open mind.
To Conclude: With a little more forethought, I would never have written the previous post. In doing so, I am just as guilty of the same insensitivity as the man himself and for that, I apologise.
Sincerely
Jim
