My five-year-old son and I were listening to Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The Memphis Blues Again, and he wanted to know what the song was about. I told him I wasn't sure — and that Bob Dylan often seemed to write lyrics because he thought the words sounded good together, not necessarily because they told a story.
So he decided it was a song about trucks.
He loves the music of Bob Dylan, a habit inherited from me, particularly Subterranean Homesick Blues. Thankfully, he hasn't asked me to explain what that song is about yet.
