Lyric discussion by cyprtomatt 

The other way i'd look at this would be.. His anxiety and fear is relentless .The racing car through the night is his mind prepared with faith to confront the things he has been waiting for . Thus the ragged hill ,water the wolves and rain are road block fears of his mind. The only way to get to the other side of his fears is to not listen to them . So the ferryman is the fear don't let him take you in ,he is the one who cant be trusted . There fore back and forth he tells him self the doubts about the voice which inhibits him and could move forward without it ,.His imagination was controlling him ,and still is once again . He cant pay the ferryman or fix a price because the price is automatic failure and he knows this when he thinks that way.Until he gets him to other other side which means he wont ever get there which is why he cant fix a price.He goes back and forth .But he knows how to over come it because this is the reason for his journey when he says a map of the mind and being on the Open Road . I think he made it as he worked out how to deal with the voices
