What's this song about?

1
What a night to work the graveyard, witching hour eight
2
Sneaking whiskey in my coffee, only thing that keeps me straight
3
But whiskey dreams of you until that whistle blew
4
Blew me out the door, I was coming home to you
5
Forty hours of graveyard to get home and fry your eggs
6
Pouring coffee in my whiskey, I've seen trouble in the drags
7
I've listened to the words, Just barely overheard
8
Stabbed me in the back, I was coming home for you
9
Forty bucks to go on layaway for my own diamond ring
10
But it's my own damn fault
11
Should have told me when they changed my shift to sway
12
You never turned and saw, saw me out the door
13
Or even heard the diesel roar
14
Hear me coming home to you
15
Forty miles an hour rising when I hit your double wide
16
Drove that tractor through the trailer
17
Coming out on yonder side
18
Did you have the breath to curse?
19
Did you cry my name as I grounded in reverse?
20
Was there anything left of you?
21
In forty days they'll strap me down
22
With a sponge and shave my head
23
And dim the lights of this old prison
24
Cause the governor wants me dead
25
That church would have given me life
26
But that woman was her wife
27
He was calling out my name
28
Now I'm coming
29
Now I'm coming
30
Now I'm coming
31
I'm home to you
32
Now I'm coming home to you
33
Now I'm coming home to you
