The Land of Drunk and Stoned
Postcards from Nowheresville: Unveiling the Meaning Behind the Melody
Lyrics
She dropped me off in nowheresville
She left me in a remote or insignificant place.
And she took back the house keys
She reclaimed the keys to the house.

And her faded tight blue jeans
Refers to the girl's personal clothing.
