On That Note: Let's Go Trippin'

[cyclones500]

The setup for these has reference to travel, but I consider the storylines as largely metaphorical, passage of time/life journey.

King of the Road: "Third boxcar, midnight train; destination...Bangor, Maine."

The Wayward Wind: "...and the mournful sound of the outward bound, made him a slave to his wandering ways."



The Last Farewell: There's a ship lies rigged and ready in the harbor Tomorrow for old England she sails Far away from your land of endless sunshine To my land full of rainy skies and gales And I shall be aboard that ship tomorrow Though my heart is full of tears at this farewell.

I'll Never Find Another You: "There's a new world somewhere, they call The Promised Land. And I'll be there someday, if you will hold my hand. I still need you there beside me, no matter what I do; For I know I'll never find another you."

The Letter: "Give a ticket for an aeroplane, Ain't got time to take a fast train, Lonely days are gone, I'm a-going home, My baby wrote me a letter."

The author either has or is contemplating hijacking a starship and traveling via the same as this excellent video shows, complete with trippy solo work by Jerry Garcia.

Fun note: That track is from a 1970 Kantner concept album, an indirect precedent to formation of Jefferson Starship (which didn't occur officially until '74).

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

I hitched a ride on a river boat queen
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

I guess my interpretation could be wrong but this seems like he's riding on the Proud Mary riverboat.
