The song is about a relationship with a rockstar.
The lines "You didn't want me all the time / But you were worth it anyway" shows that her lover was distant because of his rockstar lifestyle. However, in the lines "Out of all the others / You were the honest man" shows that she understood it as something honest, because he didn't try to hide the defects in their relationship.
The lines "Took your bike to Detroit / Back to the promised land" could both mean her lover left her to go to Detroit or they both should have left Las Vegas to go to Detroit. It's cool how this part takes us back in time, making us feel around the 80s/90s, when Detroit was "the promised land" of rock n' roll.
