Vagabond’s Gospel is a prayer that Charlie is making while pulling up to “Someone Special”’s house praying that their plan to run away together works. In the previous songs on the album, Charlie and her get back together and then they plan to run away together, leaving town and her then boyfriend. Through the prayer, Charlie hints that everytime they get together he prays that it will work this time, but never does. He also is saying that if it doesn’t work this time he won’t ever pray for it again, meaning he will simply accept their fate of never working out or having to keep living their curse of being on/off again destined to live miserably only trying for happiness to have it escape them everytime they think they have it forever. As the song comes to a close he repeatedly sings “let’s get on the road” because he’s repeating the words to himself under his breath hoping that it will work.
