Texarkana is a city that belongs to two states, as it sits directly on the border of Texas and Arkansas.
I see the narrator describing a journey passing quickly through the decades of his 20s, 30s and 40s. At the same time that he is taking this journey in time, he is also able to stand outside of himself and watch his journey as if he were watching three different men at these different times in his life. He sees how the different stages of his life and their challenges intersect, as his observation intersects time and timelessness.
I'm sure there's much more to it, when you get into looking at the lyrics, but that's a first impression.
