I adore the dark noir of this song. Anyone recommend any other noir music? Love the strings! Has a lot of impact.
By the lyrics, I always thought it was about a crime someone else committed, and the police is chasing them. So "one man's close pursuit is another man's last chance" or "one man's righteousness (the law) is another man's long haul (jail)".
Another way I look at it is like the Mexico US border relations. An immigrant who is trying to cross the "county line". Also a chase. Just a very depressing song in general!
