Walla Walla is the city in Washington where a state penitentiary is located. The song is about two guys that have been really good friends and roommates. We learn that one of the friends is caught in criminal habits and the other is always having to bail him out, causing him to reassess their relationship.
The song is part of the fifth Offspring album, Americana, their second on Columbia Records. Before signing with Columbia, the band was on the punk label Epitaph. Their 1994 Epitaph album Smash exceeded all expectations and sold over 6 million copies to become the best selling indie album of all-time. Like Green Day, the Offspring remained popular even after the punk wave of the mid-'90s abated.
