guys once again almost no comments especially on a song thats considered one of bruces best written.
i feel that its about a kid, like bruce, who has fallen in love with asbury park, but knows that its time for him to leave, this message is really portrayed in the lines:And you know that tilt-a-whirl down on the south beach drag/ I got on it last night and my shirt got caught/ And they kept me spinnin'/ I didn't think I'd ever get off
this is such a great metaphor for his feelings about leaving the shore, he had so much here that when it comes time to move on he finds the trip impossible, a dilemma i am sure bruce was faced with when he started getting big and going on tours
