Dylan reshaped the song often in concert in the years after the album came out.
The words
A weary traveler moves through river towns and train stations hoping to reach salvation before time runs out.
A weary traveler passes through river towns, trains and stations, and every stop reminds him how far he still is from where he hopes to end up. The verses gather scenes from an old American landscape of journeys and departures, and the people he meets offer little comfort. The refrain holds on to his goal of reaching salvation while there is still time. The tone is tired but steady, and Dylan reshaped the song often in concert in the years after the album came out.
