Lyric discussion by s_c_h_i_s_m 

From pro-rock.com:

"Every once in a while I go out on a drive through some old country roads in Maryland and Virginia. One of these routes goes over the Potomac via White's Ferry. This song is about some of the sights and experiences of one particular drive in September of 2006. Bryan Hinkley from Never Got Caught does the duel lead with Tim on this one, as well as wee tasty bits throughout."

"Jubilee's generally early"

the boat is named after Confederate General Jubal A. Early, Neil stop being so darn clever

I've ridden the ferry a few times, its pretty cool
