Lyrics and melody

The song is composed of two verses, with the intro, outro, and several refrains making up the rest of the song. The song tells the story of a man named Jojo, who leaves his home in Tucson, Arizona, for some "California grass". The song urges him to return home to Tucson. The song includes a brief sideplot on a "Loretta Martin". Some people believe that this is about a transsexual "...thought she was woman / But she was another man". Others believe that it was a comment about "women's liberation", and those men who tell women to "get back" into their proper role. ("Loretta Modern").
