I relate to this song. Back when I was 18, I heard Jerry Jeff Walker's version of this song and I knew, then, that this song was me. 30 years later I still believe it is me. I've spent most of my life wandering and there is nothing I love more than solitude and my wanderlust has shown me more of the world than most people will ever see.
I've never been a cowboy, but I think the deeper meaning of this song is wanderlust, solitude, and being one with the universe. It is the choice of adventure and experience over materialism. I regret nothing I've lost.
