    Lookin’ for a lover Who won’t blow my cover She’s so hard to find.

    Are you implying the woman in Winslow AZ is a beard? Or MtF? Or perhaps this is a sudden realization of a preference for female anatomy with male social behaviors?

      Always took it to mean he has a wife and is looking for lovers who won’t ruin his marriage. Maybe I just know too many people who’ve been womanizers that this scenario is my assumption

        Really annoys me how half the rock songs I like proudly announce what an absolute scumbag the author is

          Not all songs are based in reality, they’re just stories that sound good. Plus most are a time capsule of the times they were made in, being a womanizer wasn’t as frowned upon back then and was pretty much expected of musicians

            I don’t disagree, but I still think it says something about the writer of the song. Cheating on your wife is and was scummy behavior, and so is romanticizing it, just less so

      I always thought it would mean it’s a woman that is willing to sneak around in hats and sunglasses and hide from the paparazzi, instead of being an attention whore
