Discover the story of the song > Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues – Neil Young

The song is about a man who is going through a tough time and feels lost. He talks about being in a place called Juarez and experiencing negative feelings, but he advises to not act like you're better than anyone else. He mentions a woman named Sweet Melinda who deceives him, and another woman named Saint Annie who he wants to thank. He also talks about fame and fortune not being as great as they seem, and how the authorities are corrupt. He ends by saying he's had enough and is going back to New York City.
