A tale of wanderlust and the allure of escape, this track paints an evocative picture of a roving lifestyle. The lyrics depict a world where the protagonist is constantly on the move, sleeping outdoors ('on the blacktop') and running through trees. This transient existence is filled with encounters with diverse characters, from high heel ladies to businessmen with vices. Furthermore, it highlights how one's past can haunt them ('less'n my sense catches up with me'), suggesting a possible flight from past mistakes or regrets. It also conveys a sense of disillusionment and questioning of faith ('Not sure whose will be done...for wondering why'). The repeated line about corn liquor tasting sweeter in each town may reflect the fleeting pleasures found in new places, but also hints at a persistent dissatisfaction that fuels the continual journeying.
