I have got to say, alot of you speak so strongly and as if you are the only one allowed to find meaning out of something. Or to shorten it “You speak like someone who has never been smacked in the fuckin’ mouth” don’t worry, however, as I know of a remedy for that problem…

This song is awesome

The vocalist loves another person but cannot stay with them because of the vocalist's recurring depression, which pushes the vocalist, almost against their will, to move on to the next place, in an recurring and futile attempt to avoid figurative clouds, representing in this case undesirable and, so far, inexorable negative thought patterns in the vocalist's mind. It's a very sad and beautiful song; it nails bittersweet to a T.

Could be. I never saw him perform this at any of the concerts I attended, but I’ve always loved this song. I saw a show a couple of years before he died where he said that all of his repertoire is kind of like a joke and he hopes that his fans get the punchline before it’s all said and done. He’s told so many stories about so many songs and often there are multiple stories to every song. I just never heard one for this. I knew he was friends with Jimmy Buffett but he sings about several Jimmys…...

Picture in a picture show Jimmy is James Dean because he says James Dean went out to Hollywood and put his picture in a picture show. Now the kid with two first names… He probably changed the names to protect the innocent there.
depressing and soothing at the same time, very-very beautiful

"I walked across an empty land" Is a metaphor for him being unhappy and lonely
"I walked across an empty land" Is a metaphor for him being unhappy and lonely
"I knew the pathway like the back of my hand" and he's used to being unhappy
"I knew the pathway like the back of my hand" and he's used to being unhappy
"I felt the earth beneath my feet" Unhappiness is the reality for him
"I felt the earth beneath my feet" Unhappiness is the reality for him
"Sat by the river, and it made me complete" he's watching someone he love but believe he will hurt them....so keeping a distance make him feel like he is doing the right thing or complete.

"Oh, simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin" He's wondering, why isn't he happy? he's old and need some one to trust and care for him he's tired of the games... he's asking the person to forgive him because he wants to start over.....
"I came across a fallen tree" the love is dying
"I felt the branches of it looking at me' and he is to blame
"Is this the place we used to love?" he asking this question because he cant believe....how bad things got
"Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?" another question because, this is not how he want this to go....
"And if you have a minute, why don't we go' (the metaphor ends) he's trying to talk to her
"Talk about it somewhere only we know?" he asking her to meet in a place where they use to go, to bring back happy memories to her
'This could be the end of everything' he believe this is the last chance to get her back( maybe she is getting married to someone else)
This is my point of view and i can see the story in my head.... i write music and songs...... thats the understanding i get from this song
