Well I do not love to ramble around.
No I don’t , I don’t.
And if that makes me a home loving man,
Then I am.
I am.

Before I end up in a circular path,
On a pilgrimage leading straight back.
To where I know that I’ll drop my guitar.
I’ll abandon my car on the highway,
Don’t send me away.
Don’t send me upon this wild goose chase
For freedom.
For money.
For love.

From Portland west to Portland east
Yes indeed, oh indeed.
Albuquerque and Montreal
And that’s not all, that’s not all.
Cleveland Tucson and buffalo
Oh no, oh no.
San Francisco and Chicago
Oh no, oh no.

Before I end up in a circular path,
On a pilgrimage leading straight back.
To where I know that I’ll drop my guitar.
I’ll abandon my car on the highway,
Don’t send me away.
Don’t send me upon this wild goose chase
For freedom.
For money.
For love.

And I do not love to ramble around
No I don’t, I don’t.

    My Interpretation

    I have a dance to this song, so to me this song means she doesn't want to be abandoned. She doesn't want to be sent everywhere looking for that hope or that something she endures. She'll do anything just to have it, but she doesn't want to be alone.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
