It sounds to me like all of the stress of city life piled onto the singer, and they had enough.
"I'm gonna get away from all those mouths and my shit"
Information overload and other problems.
"I'm gonna say good-bye to all the la-di-da-di-da-di-da-di-da"
All of the things that people expect from everyone else in everyday life.
"Some cop sticking up my wagon"
Perhaps a cop searching their vehicle, with the definition of "sticking up" being "to rob at gunpoint".
Aside from that, in case anyone's wondering, I believe that when they say:
"One by one(one by one), I'm gonna get my properties all bundled up(bundled up)
To the branch of a poplar tree and saunter off"
They mean that they will be using a bindle, which is "a bundle carried by a hobo (usually containing his possessions), often on a stick slung over the shoulder".
