The Lumineers – Dead Sea Lyrics 12 years ago
I think you're right but I believe it to have a more literal meaning as well. The band originally included Wesley and Jeremiah who lived near New York city decided to pick up and move out west to "I headed West, I was a man on the move
New York had lied to me, I needed the truth"

They say in their bio they left with just a few suitcases

"You left with just the clothes on your back
You took the rest when you took the map"
