James makes a lot of connections to planes, jets and flying in this song. I think this song is more than just a small town in west Texas. On the surface that's that, but it corrilates more to freedom and freedom from the same old boring day to day lives that most are forced to lead. "they lacked ambition, one". You see. It's funny that he throws greed in the song as well because it doesn't seem to fit with the rest. "Sucks the water table dry". In farming communities this kind of practice is frowned upon by some other farmers. (mostly because they can't compete (it takes money to make money kind of thing)). The best verse in this song works so well. Mama used to roll her hair
Back before the central air
We'd sit outside and watch the stars at night
She's tell me to make a wish
I'd wish we both could fly
I don't sthink she's seen the sky
Since we got the sattelite dish

That gets me everytime.
