I agree with infinitepet85 about the Huck Finn reference.
"And I was thinking about my river days
I was thinking about me and Jim
Passing Cairo on a getaway
With every steamboat like a hymn"
Josh is eluding to Cairo , Illinois , which was a major Steamboat port in the 19th Century. It also is the the destination of Huck and his Slave friend Jim in the Adventures of Huck Finn , they wanted to take a Steamboat north to freedom.
