La chanson évoque une amitié sincère entre deux compagnons voyageurs, partageant des moments difficiles et joyeux au fil de leur chemin. Le narrateur se remémore des souvenirs d'aventures vécues ensemble, même lorsque les temps étaient durs et l'argent manquant. Malgré la perte tragique de son ami, il se console en pensant qu'ils se retrouveront peut-être dans un autre monde, continuant leur vie d'errance ensemble. L’esprit de camaraderie et le souhait de joie et d'aventure se dégagent de chaque refrain, célébrant une vie libre et pleine de souvenirs.
