I think this is a song about a man who won't grow up, a man who wants all the wrong things. He's immersed himself in the materialistic, quick pleasures of life. The expense of this is that no one can get too close. Like so many young men, he clings to the idea of freedom, afraid of giving his independence to someone who could abuse him. Afraid to open his heart to the possibility of breaking.
God, I love this song.
While Clint Black (?) mastered this song on Common Thread, it could never measure up to the original. Henley is in a class of his own.
