Lyrics for Papa Hobo as interpreted by Janson

Papa Hobo Lyrics
It's carbon and monoxide
The Ole Detroit perfume
And it hangs on the highways
In the morning
And it lays you down by noon
Oh Papa Hobo
You can see that I'm dressed like a schoolboy
But I feel like a clown
It's a natural reaction I learned
In this basketball town

Sweep up
I been sweeping up the tips I've made
I been living on Gatorade
Planning my getaway
Detroit, Detroit
Got a hell of a hockey team
Got a left-handed way
Of making a man sign up on that
Automotive dream, oh yeah
Oh Papa Papa Hobo
Could you slip me a ride
Well, it's just after breakfast
I'm in the road
And the weatherman lied

"...Got a left-handed way of making a man sign on to that automotive dream." I love the way this line is sung, and I get the automotive/detroit connection, but what does this mean? Left-handed way?

Left-handed=Left Winged perspective. He's saying that they have a charming non-republican way of making people join the automotive industry. Great tune!
