god, the part of this song after "what a cruel god we've got" is just amazing. the almost primal wails/moans. amazing.
to me, this song is about "solutions" that don't end up solving anything. the first few verses deal with a guy that's hit the road, leaving his family behind. but the endless monotony of highway after highway isn't the solution to his problems that he dreamed it would be. his family, his attachments, weren't the problem. and now he's asking some convenience store clerk back to his room.
