The song is the epitome of nostalgia. Nostalgia of friends, family, loved ones who may have passed into the next life, the place you grew up, etc.
"Rivers and roads" are just metaphors for the different ways in which we cope with the overwhelming feeling of nostalgia (listening to music, doing something that you used to do, trying to remember what those times used to be like) until we find peace. But will we ever find that peace??
