Sydney Steve, I guess you can make an argument for the song being about a "permanent retirement", but I don't. He may be asking how long he'll have to "travel on" solo...but he's still looking/hoping for a special lady to travel with him: "Headin’ off on the silver moon light, maybe love’ll find me tonight"
Jesse-Joe...yes, if that were me in the picture, I'd just keep following that "river of light" to the Source.....somewhere east of midnight!
I'd rather be in Biscuit City
With my banjo in my hand
Than take a big vacation
In some foreign land
Cause the sound of my own breathing
has been turning to a sigh
If it were not for misfortune
I would be in Biscuit City by and by
If it were not for misfortune
I would stay in Biscuit City 'til I die
