Oh yeah, also, The "shepherd's crook" is what references the poles (in the shape of a shepherd's crook) that once held the markers (mission bells) along the historical El Camino Real California path, used by early Spanish missionaries to settle the U.S. and spread their religious message. An eloquently metaphor, I would suppose, to illustrate his journey with his new insight.
@Yosemiteguy the “shepherds crook as a walking stick”, this is what many pilgrims hiking the El Camino de Santiago trail use. This hike is considered a soul cleansing, spiritually transformative journey for all who take it. I can’t know for sure what Amos Lee was speaking of, but it certainly does have some incredible likeness in the references. “I’m heading out to that OTHER coast” could be a reference to the hike’s ending on the west coast of Spain.

I think it’s more likely just a coincidence, but it’s a REALLY amazing one.

@Yosemiteguy I also believe this song is also a reference to the El Camino De Santiago pilgrimage hiking trail from France to the west coast of Spain.
