Jeff Davis County Blues
Journey through Jeff Davis County: A Tale of Reflection and Redemption
Lyrics
after three nights in jail, I head north from Toyaville
Leaving Toyaville after a three-night jail stay, heading north.
switch to 285 in Pecos, head up to Red Bluff
Switching to 285 in Pecos, heading to Red Bluff.
my walk's real steady and my eyes are real cold
Walking steadily with cold eyes, feeling youthful and lost.
when I feel like I'm only sixteen years old
Experiencing a sense of youthfulness, possibly contrasting with the tough exterior.
lost in a travel lodge
Staying in a travel lodge, feeling disconnected.
with the television on with the sound down
Being in a travel lodge, watching TV with the sound off, feeling vulnerable.
I don't feel so tough
Not feeling tough despite the exterior, vulnerability apparent.
old issues of sunset magazine to read
Reading old issues of Sunset magazine for distraction.
sleep for twelve hours
Sleeping for an extended period, seeking escape or solace.
dream about home
Dreaming about home, perhaps longing or reminiscing.
I have no place to go
Expressing a lack of a specific destination or purpose.
so I drive up to New Mexico
Driving to New Mexico without a clear destination.
fix my eyes in the rearview when I cross the stateline
Focusing on the rearview mirror while crossing the state line.
and I panic I guess
Feeling a sense of panic, possibly about the journey or life.
and although it's quite late
Despite the lateness, taking an exit to 128.
I take the first exit to 128
Returning to Midland, expressing a hope for acceptance.
I am coming back to Midland and I hope you won't mind
(Empty line, no specific information provided.)
polaroids of the two of us
Reflecting on polaroids of a relationship scattered on the passenger seat.
scattered on the passenger seat
Symbolizing memories through scattered polaroids.
I drive slowly and eat early
Driving slowly and eating early, possibly reflecting on life.
and I dream about home
Dreaming about home, reiterating a sense of longing or nostalgia.
