I think it's about him leaving Lowell, which he describes as being old and crumbling (because Lowell is full of old building dating back to the Industrial Revolution). Driving away as he leaves, the skyscrapers disappear into the horizon, the radio stations are turning to static, and he's leaving Lowell behind.
Agreeing with a previous comment, this song really does describe the song well. Lowell seems so out of place in norther MA. It's so rich in culture and so urban when the surrounding towns are, well, country cow towns such as dracut with absolutly nothing to do (speaking from experience.)
