His songs are so deep. Like, what does he mean by: “Shooting 8-ball at the corner truck stop?â€
Do they put truck stops on corners in New Mexico? Because most big tractor-type trucks don’t necessarily have the best turning radii, so I'm thinking that maybe it’s a metaphor for something else that’s really deep.
I also love his line: “Take me to France, watch me dance.â€
That one just blows my mind. I wonder what it could mean!
Mad proppers to Bingham … he deserves everything he gets.
