I think this song is about missing home when you're away somewhere faraway. Seeing as Grandaddy was formed in Modesto, California, I think it's about thinking of the West and just plain pining to be back home. In today's fast-paced world of technology and change, it's just comforting to think of the past and where you came from. I think this song is just about a search for a peaceful and fulfilling life in a society that seems to be moving faster everyday. Just my two cents anyway...

You're onto something there. This whole album seems to be about touring and missing home, particularly the final push to the sum.
