Morning Noel.
When I was a kid I had these strong pulls to get up and go vagabond - got them listen to trains, looking at the night sky. Funny thing is - I never really picked up when I was a student and packed over Europe. The mind would wander but the body was welded to the home ground.
I don't think it comes through in the chording of the verse but the chords were Em - C9 - probably would have been more obvious had I actually played guitar rhythm - could never seem to record acoustic guitar well.

The Depression saw many people running - the box car was the major mode - and the Rail Cos had these guys with clubs to keep the hobos off . . . and they'd kill you. Pleasant thought for a nice day.

Good to hear your thoughts - glad all of the "i"s and "t"s are in place.
