I love the imagery in this song. I always picture driving around in a shitty old van on a highway somewhere through the desert.

This is just me speculating but the aforementioned "border town" might be Benson, Arizona. It's a tiny town in the middle of nowhere and there's a lot of run down motels...it sort of fits with the song.

Nate has said the title of this song is a reference to a character in The Baxter, but I think it could be both.

I think you're on to something here.. I grew up out in Vail, which is near Benson,a nd later moved to Mesa. This whole song is chock full of Arizona references. I can see it again when I listen to this, makes me miss it almost.. those summers though.. :(
