About the universal joint/finger, I think what he meant was his thumb, meaning he had to hitch-hike. But I'm not positive. Maybe that was why the 'tall lady' saw him and stopped? And I agree with the opinion that the lady is either a man or a tranny.
I like Alan Jackson, but this type of song bothers me, generalizing about an area like that. Especially since, aside from the first verse, he keeps offering the info to these people in the other verses who didn't ask. Maybe they share some of his love for cornbread, but he writes them off as different from him because of where they're from.
