Lyric discussion by red norgaard 

This is sort of the opposite of all the other downbeat loners in the night Springsteen writes about- it has a sense of giddiness that comes with being sleep-deprived and amped up on something or other and motivated to get away from the cruddy job and back to his baby for the weekend.

It's almost funny though how dated the song is- carburetors, pay phones and road maps... practically all the answers to trivia questions now.

LOL..."his baby." Is that what one of a long, long line of young, dumb pieces of drunk ass are? WoW. That's deep. Real freedom. Such a big goal and accomplisment. Really defines the person, now doesn't it. Good song.

all ancient history, but that comment makes almost no sense in the context of the song - or my comment. just in case you come back in a year or two.
