This travelling theme runs throughout Hejira, the album in which this song appears. Apparently Joni Mitchell was actually on a road trip herself at the time, and every night she would sit down and write a new song about her experiences. In my opinion it's one of the most beautifully written albums ever, and this song is the perfect ending to it.
