I like this song very much.

On the first reading/listening you get a complete view of what East Texas is, but on the second reading/listening, you realize this is more of a "Bildungsroman", a "coming of age" song... "Learning to drive" refers to "learning to live" among people that are not really open-minded.

My Opinion
