The Naked Ride Home Lyrics

Lyric discussion by rohan10292 

Cover art for The Naked Ride Home lyrics by Jackson Browne

When interviewed on this album’s release, Jackson said it was about the end of a marriage. He has to decide to leave the marital home or? There are clues in the lyrics leading up to this point: “the heart beating alone”, “turning aside my caress”, “spoke of all she’d not yet done”. I found the initial premise very exciting but after the realisation that the marriage was over, quite sad.

@rohan10292 Yes, I heard that interview too Spot on. I know the girl he left behind to marry the one he wrongfully chose...
