Ah. No Ones Commented Yet? One Of His BEST Songs.

My Guess... About A Woman (Obviously) Who He Had A Chance With, But Passed It Up. He Tried To Get It Back ("I Tried Out-Running You It Didnt Last") But Was Unable To.

I Dunno. Beautiful Song Though.

This song talks about a love lost due to the road. He wants to stay with her and keep her as his own but the road is drawing him away--"youll probably end up thinking that i dont care, when you get a letter from a new somewhere"

Its as if he wants to keep the relationship but since he is just a tramp of the road she cant do it. This song is almost like a folk sequal of Sprinsteens Born to Run--bold statement I know but what the hell.
