There seems to be some possible reference to the film Withnail & I in this. Firstly the actually use of the name Withnail and also "staying for the weekend" as in the film the main event is the two characters go away to the country for the weekend and also "swaying like a smokey grey, a drink in the park" is very much like the end of the film where Withnail is drunk and drinking wine in a park in the rain after saying goodbye to I(his name is never said in the film). I've no idea what this means in the context of the song really, there are some other potential similarities earlier but they're not as firm. Anyway good song and Withnail & I's an very good film i'd recommend anyone to watch.

although you guys' interpretations of the song are all good, in the making of the video of king of the rodeo, jared said that its about a transvestite. haha

I like the song, but for the life of me I can't understand what he's singing! "Good time to roll on" still sounds like "E kak oo mo do" to me lol. Brill song though.
