I've been listening to this song for over 25 years and it just hit me what this song is really about: the Statue of Liberty: "She's actual size but seems much bigger to me" is the importance that the Statue of Liberty, as a symbol, has on the American people. "Her face hangs in portrait on the post office wall" is a reference to the Statue of Liberty postage stamps. "She's stuck in my heart now where my blood belongs" is the presence of patriotism in our blood.
