Shannon wrote this tune about a homeless guy he knew. He's relating his own life- his abnormality, his unideal yet free lifestyle- to the homeless guy's. From a lot of Blind Melon's other songs, Tones of Home, Change, and Galaxie, you can tell Shannon knew he was misunderstood. He was a little wild in his life, which caused him to feel separated from the average world like a homeless man would feel.
