The song is inspired by the road down the Kintyre peninsula of Scotland to Paul's home (still owns it) in Machrihanish where Paul retreated to get away from mayhem of the Beatles. The road is long but it isn't as winding as the song suggests - it's fairly straight in most places. There are actually two roads to his place - the coastal road takes a little longer to drive but the ocean views are indescribably beautiful. Definitely a bit of a nowheresville down there even today but very pretty.
