Regarding this song, Peart states: 'All those paeans to American restlessness and the American road carried a tinge of wistfulness, an acknowledgement of the hardships of the vagrant life, the notion that wanderlust could be involuntary, exile as much as freedom, and indeed, the understanding that freedom wasn't free. In the mid-1970s, the band was driving to a show in downtown Los Angeles, at the, and I noticed some graffiti splattered across a wall: 'Freedom isn't free,' and I adapted that for a song on 2112.'
