I think this is a very autobiographical song for Bob. He said in the "No Direction Home" interview that at the beginning of his career, he set out looking for "home," and he didn't know what it looked like, but he knew he had to go there. Of course, in 1973, he was nowhere near home. He probably still isn't. He is Billy.
Billy, you're so far away from home.
