Great insight, Johnno7. I'll disagree in that the protagonist is a "traveler" or "shepherd". It's about an outsider, who is one not because of his profession but rather because of his different outlook on life: "Can't instruct me or conduct me / Just use up my time".
I actually find this song inspiring, encouraging me to follow the beat of my own drum and ignoring the complaints of the "straight man".
