This is an amazing song. I think it's about the romantic lives that plague many of the successful bands and bandmembers from the 70's/80's - think 'Faithfully' by Journey. These two songs have really similiar messages. The person in question is away all the time, performing, touring, and whatnot, and misses that special someone who can't be with them every day. But, the touring is a fact of life for him, as it is his job, and he has to stick with it. It's tough on him (or her, what have you) but thinking about that significant other makes the work that much more bearable.
