The protagonist and her partner, Bobby, travel together from Baton Rouge to New Orleans by hitchhiking. They sing together and the protagonist feels free and happy as long as she can hear Bobby's bluesy voice. They continue to travel across America, Bobby being a supportive partner to the protagonist. However, the protagonist eventually loses Bobby somewhere along the way and is left with only memories of their time together. The song suggests that freedom is achieved by having nothing to lose and that love and companionship are worth more than material possessions.
