this one is a bit dicey to interpret but I feel the ideas really do relate to travel and this song is so intensely beautiful

Bloodbuzz Ohio by The National



Stand up straight at the foot of your love
I lift my shirt up
Stand up straight at the foot of your love
I lift my shirt up
I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees
I'll never marry but Ohio don't remember me

Lay my head on the hood of your car
I'll take it too far
Lay my head on the hood of your car
I'll take it too far

I still owe money to the money to the money I owe
I never thought about love when I thought about home
I still owe money to the money to the money I owe
The floors are falling out from everybody I know

I'm on a bloodbuzz
Yes I am
I'm on a blood, buzz
I'm on a bloodbuzz
God I am
I'm on a blood, buzz

I was carried to Ohio in a swarm of bees
I never married but Ohio don't remember me
I still owe money to the money to the money I owe
I never thought about love when I thought about home
I still owe money to the money to the money I owe
The floors are falling out from everybody I know

I'm on a bloodbuzz
Yes I am
I'm on a blood, buzz
I'm on a bloodbuzz
God I am
I'm on a blood, buzz

@Juan Derlust Swedish Hiker, I like that. I used to think Steve Miller Band - Jet Airliner lyrics were "Big Ol' Jed & Lionel" in place of "Big ol Jet airliner"

Go on, have a listen and tell me that ain't a song about his buddies Jed & Lionel who like to take him out of town to party down hard but he's like hey guys look I'll go but let's not get carried away alright, I got responsibilities n shit I gotta be back home to tend to so let's not overdo it like last time!

And I'm goin' with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That I don't want to get caught up in any of that
Funky shit goin' down in the city
Big Ol' Jed & Lionel
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, oh Big Ol' Jed & Lionel
'Cause it's here that I've got to stay
