This is why this song is so incredible, because it’s universal - the questions asked in this song are the questions we all ask ourselves at some point in our life, and often spend the rest of it trying to answer them. So for me this is a song about two people taking the decision to stare life in the face and ask those kind of questions of it, they’re challenging their existence, wanting more from it, desperately wanting life to mean something, and they’re about to find out if it does. It’s about yearning to find out if life is really all it’s cracked up to be, do dreams become realised or do they drown in life’s mediocrity? Is there such a place where you can ‘walk in the sun’? and, most importantly is love really real - does it really exist as it does in books and films and music, or is it an exaggerated, exploited myth? So yes, it’s about escaping somewhere, but I think it’s also about running to somewhere towards adulthood maybe, escaping the constraints of adolescence. Bruce once described it as a song about two people trying to find their way home. This is indeed a true love song people, but it’s also much more. Where we really wanna go and we'll walk in the sun I'll love you with all the madness in my soul Together, Wendy, we can live with the sadness I wanna die with you, Wendy, on the street tonight Kids are huddled on the beach in the mist Girls comb their hair in rearview mirrors 'Cause, baby, I'm just a scared and lonely rider
Oh, will you walk with me out on the wire? We'll run 'til we drop, baby, we'll never go back Just wrap your legs 'round these velvet rims 'Cause tramps like us, baby, we were born to run
Oh, baby this town rips the bones from your back In the day we sweat it out on the streetsĪt night we ride through the mansions of gloryĬhrome wheeled, fuel injected, and steppin' out over the line
