Lyric discussion by TRNightdancer 

I'd always imagined this as a drug smuggling song. South American or someplace like that. Steel guitars, blue sedans, "someone shouted open the door. LOOKOUT! An ambush by either the other drug runners or the military trying to take the drugs and the expected profit from them. " So fast the expedition, so vast this heavy load. The loaded trucks moving quickly through the back roads The crimson sand, toward the evening when they pick up the "cargo". "Underneath the skin,a feeling , a breakdown..." a premonition of a dangerous trip, a feeling of foreboding on this trip

I could go on, but I'm probably so far off base I'd hate to insult anyone.
