Battery Kinzie Lyrics

Cover art for Battery Kinzie lyrics by Fleet Foxes

I believe this is a fictional story and there could be a child involved. That could explain the line "He paid the wage you sent to me." He could be living with the child and go to look for the mother of the child who is now with another man who keeps a very tight leash on her. This man also pays the child support. He tries to win the child's mother back but it is no use. Any thoughts?
