In the Canned Heat bio "Living the Blues", they mention that CH met up with Pappalardi after both had played, and were desperately trying to get out of there through the sea of people. Pappalardi is said to have stolen a limo, and CH caught a ride with him. May be what "We haven't come so far to lose our way" is about.
The relationship lyrics could be about Collins and Pappalardi, who had a very troubled relationship (she ended up murdering him years later), possibly the "jealously and lies" reference.
