Simon Frith
When determining whether or not the songwriter, Lyfe Jennings, is the same person as the character in the song, I feel it a safe assumption that though he may have had many of the same characteristics of the character in his youth, and it is probably loosely based on his struggles, Lyfe Jennings is not the character in this song.
