La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui a passé sa vie à voyager et à travailler dans des conditions difficiles, souvent loin de sa famille. Il évoque ses rencontres et ses luttes, notamment avec son ami Frank, qui a tragiquement trouvé la mort. Au fil de ses pérégrinations, il ressent un profond manque et une nostalgie pour son fils, se demandant s'il lui manque aussi. Dans cette quête de sens et de rédemption, il évoque la protection divine, tout en faisant face à des pensées sombres sur la violence. Le contexte de cette chanson est ancré dans la réalité des travailleurs itinérants aux États-Unis, particulièrement pendant la Grande Dépression et au début du XXe siècle, offrant un aperçu poignant de leurs sacrifices et de leur humanité dans un monde souvent impitoyable.
