The song describes the narrator's growing alcoholism ("all the salty margaritas in Los Angeles; I'm going to drink them up") and laments that no matter what occurs, he will wind up paying the bill for his low rent digs at the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel. It ends with him listening to the sound of the air conditioner humming and converting the hum to the repeated chorus "look away down Gower Avenue," which is sung with greater hope than the somewhat morose tone of the rest of the song. This song features background vocals from Carl Wilson of The Beach Boys.

One story about the song says that Zevon skipped out on paying a bill at a hotel by going out through the window, but he swore he'd pay it back someday. When he went back he was famous by then and all they'd accept was a signed album and he felt like he cheated them.
