This is about Luc Carl, GaGa's Nebraskan on-off boyfriend, who she has been in love with for "six whole years". He works in a bar in New York and also tries his hand at many other things. Of all the men GaGa's dated, he's the one she's fallen for most in spite of how tumultuous their relationship can be, and I don't think she ever got over him, even when they spent a couple of years apart. She was determined to get him back and I think she associates him with New York and who Gaga was at the beginning, and who Stefani Germanotta was. That's what the whole "this time I'm not leaving without you" thing is about.
I think he's had quite a heavy influence on this whole album, though not directly. He's into Rock and Roll and is obsessed with his cars, which also explains "I couldn't listen to a joke or rock 'n' roll, and muscle cars drove a truck right through my heart"
