Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pushin' on ma achin' feet
Lookin' for a bite to eat
Walkin' on the Highway
Feelin' in a low way
Walkin' Highway 301
Walkin' Highway 301
Nights are cold an' ain't no fun
Pushin' on keep out the cold
Life just makes me feel so old
Walkin' on the Highway
Feelin' in a low way
Walkin' Highway 301
Walkin' Highway 301
Seems that I'm the only one
Charity's no word for me
Down an' outs shouldn't be
Walkin' on the Highway
Feelin' in a low way
Walkin' Highway 301
Walkin' Highway 301
Sunup an' I'm feelin' done
Don' know where I'm walkin' to
Feet are burnin' in ma shoes
Walkin' on the Highway
Feelin' in a low way
Walkin' Highway 301

Despite this, the person remains determined to continue walking down the road to nowhere, carrying the weight of their troubles on their back.

The person in the song is a representation of the countless individuals who are struggling to survive without basic necessities such as food and shelter. It is a reminder that there is still a long way to go in the fight against poverty and that we need to extend a helping hand to those in need.
