Although this song seems on the surface just to be about a lonely driver offering a hitch-hiker a ride, it’s much darker than that: he is planning to kill her. (I checked this interpretation with Shindell after a gig on 10 December 2019, so I know it’s correct.)

By Now Lyrics

Window open wide
Blowing throught the north
No radar gun in sight
Moon shines on the asphalt
Two eyes in the dark
Young doe in the high-beams
She don't stand a chance
If she ain't already got there by now
By now . . . by now . . . by now

Is that you MaryAnn
I almost drove right by you
Can I give you a hand
Is there somewhere I can take you
The road is dark and cold
No place for a young girl
Shouldn't you be at home
Your Mama's probably missed you by now
By now . . . by now . . . by now

Put your bags in back
Don't bother with the seatbelt
Take a cigarette
What station do you like
How far do you go?
What time are you expected
Did you leave a note
Telling where you might be by now
By now . . . by now . . . by now

Window open wide
Blowing throught the north woods
No radar gun in sight
Moon shines on the asphalt
Two eyes in the dark
Young doe in the high-beams
She don't stand a chance
If she ain't already got there by now
By now . . . by now . . . by now
