i just wrote this song today very quickly... can anyone tell me what it's about?... your interpretations.

i know what it's about but, i just thought i'd post it to see if anyone else could figure out the story.

here's the song:

i stumbled around town
with a bottle in my hand
walking the streets
i feel like i'm getting old

what's going on?
what's going on tonight?
i stop by the bar and grab another beer
i chug the beer down
and look around
there's a lot of people in here

15 minutes later
i drink another one
i grab a bottle of booze just for fun
and something to do

i look around again, and noone is around
was i awake?
was i asleep the whole time?
well, i guess it's time to go

i step outside
feel the warm air
walk out to the sidewalk
and stumble around
with my bottle in my hand

what is it?
well, i don't know
but, it's tastes cheap

i've got a pretty good buzz now
so, i hand my bottle to a homeless man as we talk for a while

what happened to you? i ask.
well, i was in the war
then my wife left, he replied

well, that's not cool, i said
he replied, yeah, she was the one i loved
that's why i'm here
i wanted to forget about the past with noone else

well, good talking to you, man
i hope you start to look up

i got back on my feet
and onto the street
it was winter outside
i was tired, hungry, and needed to get clean

i checked into rehab
and got what i needed
a warm bed and a new key
a key to life
and the drugs i didn't need

If I were to take a guess, I would say that you are either an alcoholic or have a drug adiction, and it took some advice from a stranger that you never met to make you realize that what you are doing is wasting your life away instead of realizing that someone loves you and you are not loving her enough back.

part of it's right but, there's more to it... and there's no woman in the picture.

it's not about me either... nor is it about someone i know... it's not based on any certain story, just a fictional character... could be anyone.

there;s just one detail that you didn't quite get... pay attention to the "seasons changing."

Was he so in a state of drunkiness or addiction that he either couldn't comprehend time or the seasons passed quickly but he had no sense of time? Am I on the right track???

not on the right track but, close to it... i'm sure that he did lose track of time because he was an alchoholic/user but, he was also homeless.
