This is my theme song. I first heard this when I was a kid, and I forgot about it until I quit trying to get jobs in offices and stuff and became a truck driver. Having been through all that office nonsense, this song rings so true for me!
I have a feeling he was probably writing more about motorcycles or hitchhiking, but it works for my profession as well.
Also, coincidentally for me, I love driving in the desert, and the video features them playing in a studio with a 360° mural of a desert scene all around them.
I don't really care if Rob Halford may have hidden references to gay lifestyles in his music. If he did so in this song, I'm hard-pressed to recognize it so easily as with other songs he wrote. With that said, it could be thinly argued that this song is about escaping heteronormative or marital expectations that were so strong when this song was written.
