I think the rest of you are right about the prostitution thing. About the "2000 miles" part: Jack Johnson went to college at UCSB, and hawaii is a little over 2000 miles from california. The characters in this song are dreaming of a peacful, tropical life in hawaii (where Jack grew up) far away from the turmoil of the city streets.
