Stiff cold wind of oh-dark-thirty

and I’m mainlining the java

like it’s the oldies station

at a truck-stop just outside Omaha

 

just another lovelorn caballero

on the bleak freeway of loneliness

I loved the last stanza, such lyrical language. But I have to confess I didn't grok the first line, or the title.
