I want to be a partner with you. Before medical science discovered how the circulatory system functioned, people believed that a vein ran directly from the fourth finger on the left hand to the heart. Because of the hand-heart connection, they chose the descriptive name vena amoris, Latin for the vein of love (get your mind out of the gutter, I am saying LOVE), for this particular vein. That is why the fourth finger of the left hand is the ring finger, indicating commitment. In Jance's song I believe he is talking about wanting to marry someone.

Useless peice of shit
A left hand man is a dumbass who's only purpose in life is to breathe and die.
If someone calls you their left hand man they probobly hate you.

"After winning and then losing 3 grand at the blackjack tables, I brought a couple strippers back to the bachelor party suite, and finished them both off. Just another night glorious night as a left hand man."
