I have been a Steely Dan fan since their early days (I'm 68). And just ending a 5 year relationship with an "abusive wench" who I still love horribly-- hate it-- i'm embarrassed by it but I can't help it.
I've never EVER been in anything like this before in my life. I have loved her since I first saw her in 1965.
I have heard this song many-many times. But it all came clear to me-- it's meaning-- when I was in the throes of leaving her-- then being drawn back-- over and over.
Now I sing it in my head. I...

Now I sing it in my head. I know the words forward and backward.
Sorry to hear, robert1499. Sadly, these situations are all too common. I dated a bit before I met my current husband, and never before had I met so many broken men who still pined after those nasty women who broke their hearts. It's hard to trust again, but the thing you have to remember is that nobody deserves to be mistreated in a relationship, no matter how desirable the abuser seems. The last four letters of "abuser" are "user." YOU deserve better.

Or he's married to a wench that he's in love with and no matter how much effort he puts into making her life better, she still abuses him.
Yet...he's in love with her as evidenced by the "sun" and the "safe and warm" imagery.
This is a relationship, folks. Plain and simple--it's the good and the bad.
And that's alright with him.
I see the "superhighway" as the boring old routine of familiarity you get with a long relationship.
