I remember hearing about Knopfler and Dylan having a falling out as the result of the release of Infidels. The Dylan album was produced by Mark but Bob released it without Mark's seal of approval. My take on this song is Mark taking a shot at
Dylan from the Roadrunner's perspective of superior speed and cunning. LIttle clues in the lyrics point to Dylan.
You can't catch me Coyote
Though there may be blood on the tracks
There may be some bridges burning
Behind our backs.
Blood on the tracks is obvious, Bridges burning is from Infidels, Don't Fall Apart on Me Tonight. Dog dreams might be from Self Portrait. If Dogs Run Free.
Anyway just my thoughts on some possibilities.
