"I can see for miles and miles and miles and miles and"

FROM THE STACKS: Michelle Shocked lived in LA for a time and knows from a long LA drive. She describes one in "Come A Long Way," comparing a Mullholland drive to the James Dean crash, and then she makes her way to Wilshire where she passes Rodeo Drive and the Tar Pits and ends up at the LACMA cafe. It's the lament of the chorus that puts this in context to the previous post:

I've come a long way
I've come a long way
I've gone 500 miles today
I've come a long way
I've come along way
And never even left L.A.
