My friend Karl figured this one out (I had no idea what Clint was saying half the time...my ears aren't so good!). It's the story of a couple starting college; the girl wants to go to school in Tulsa, but unbeknownst to her, the guy WANTS her to go, so that he can "escape" his "certain fate" of being stuck with her. He covers it up in niceties that make it seem he's looking out for her interests, though.
