Cut in Nashville in early 1966, it runs about seven minutes.
The words
A man trapped in a strange town meets a series of eccentrics and wonders if he will ever get out.
The narrator is stranded in a town where nothing makes sense, and each verse brings another odd character his way, from lawmen and would-be lovers to advisers offering strange counsel. Between these encounters comes a weary refrain that wonders if he is doomed to stay there for good while longing to be somewhere else. The mood is comic and exasperated rather than despairing. The Nashville musicians give it a loose, rolling bounce that carries it through its seven minutes.
