I used to think that this song referenced the assassination of J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, but I looked up the date and it precedes it by a couple of years.
There's still a "lone nut" feeling to this song - having a gun, being on a mission, the "lucky one" not knowing he's coming - it's interesting that this is on the same album as "I Desire," whose lyrics were cribbed from a published poem by would-be Reagan assassin John Hinckley.
