Back when Bob was awarded a Kennedy Center medal for his contribution to American arts and culture (or whatever), Gregory Peck read his citation and jokingly referred to Brownsville Girl. Any fan of Peck's especially his role as Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird, will understand Bob's reference. The narrator in Brownsville Girl is on that great American search for integrity-- on the road, across borders, in himself, in a companion, even at the movies. And when he finds it, he's willing to stand on line in the rain.
