You're probably right, but I can't help but seeing some of the imagery of death or passing on (bear with me):
"it's the good north, the promised success" as in a good resting place, either his home or heaven ('promised land' as in heaven).
He mentions flying there, although he'll "never get to Crowsdell," an earthly location. that seems like a strange sentence. so where's he flying to? his other home perhaps; either heaven or his version of paradise?
It also makes sense when "everythings broken now" and he seems to feel he can't fix it - he has no reason to stay on earth and try to fix things.
But, I'm an english major, so it's my job to make strange metaphors out of something that seems simple. :)
I know, 5 years and only two comments...
