I am from Arkansas. Discovered Damien Jurado around 2015. I left home at 19 joining the Marine Corps. Spent 25 years in it. This song speaks all about my AR growing up and leaving it. Had little friends and just watched movies. I was different.
I wonder what he means in the line - "Fade out, this is where the credits roll our name" This song is great... so filled with emotion over such a simple "tower of song" leonard cohen style chord progression

Shawn James does an amazing cover of this.
Whoa! This is really something special.
I think the nervousness/pitchyness adds to the performance. What a brilliant songwriter.

I think he was referring to that feeling when it seems like the relationship is dying, and all that's left is for the credits roll.
Love you love you love you
