Jefferson is a small town in northern New Hampshire with a population slightly higher than 1,000. New Hampshire is "the Granite State". And the number of stairs, 89 and 93 are the two major highways in New Hampshire. "and the boarder of the Granite State, we're a river a part". The western boarder of NH is the Connecticut River. So maybe in the song, he has a lover in Vermont, which is on the other side of the River.
