I love this song, it has kind of become my travelling song, I put it on when ever I go anywhere.

Maybe he means when you spend so long in one place it almost turns to black and white, you stop noticing things. Then I guess it's time to move on. But of everyone wants you stay and help, hence

“Do you have to leave so soon my boy? The winter time aint even begun….”

Imply theres a lot of work to get through winter and it'll be harder alone.

It also describes almost every teen's dream in a rural setting.
