My Beautiful Reward Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Rayburn 

Cover art for My Beautiful Reward lyrics by Bruce Springsteen

cubfever i think is on the right track. The man knows, through experience in verse 1, that fulfillment can't be found in material things. He seems to have come up empty with religion in verse 2. In verse 3 he finds that romantic love is not the ultimate fulfillment either. Verse 4 simply shows a guy who hasn't given up on the search. Possibly riding a motorcycle. "Long Time Coming" could be the sequel to this song.
