What's this song about?

1
I was cramped into a coffee house pew
2
two dollar coke in my hand
3
listening to the music run
4
through and out of a drowning man.
5
Ten years ago I first heard him singing
6
to a screaming crazy crowd
7
now there's thirteen loyal people
8
trying to sound that loud.
9
And I wonder as I watch him now
10
why his songs don't turn me on.
11
He got me into music
12
where has the fragile magic gone?
13
And all the changes
14
keep on changing
15
and the good old days
16
they say they're gone.
17
Only wise men
18
and some new born fools
19
say they know what's going on.
20
But I sometimes think the difference is
21
just in how I think and see
22
and the only changes going on
23
are going on in me.
24
There was you and Fifth avenue
25
before there were lies
26
and all my hot blood schemes
27
and teenage dreams
28
flashed before my eyes.
29
I did not think I had a chance
30
you had to prove me wrong
31
it took a year and a half
32
of tears and laughs
33
before you moved along.
34
And now these long years later
35
when I see you once again
36
I wonder what you saw in me
37
when you loved me way back then.
38
There I was in you Air Force
39
Uncle Sam, you owned my brain.
40
I tried to see myself as a sex mad savior
41
sailing on a silver plane.
42
I started out to do my duty
43
ended up just doing time.
44
What is it about you
45
my mother of a country
46
that makes so many change our minds.
47
You had me on your honor roll
48
for your dream I would die
49
now I would not even cross the street
50
to help you live a lie.
