The women.

The recognition and the freedom to live as I please, to take it to the limit or wherever all of this was leading me.

Born to Run lifted us into another league.

And so now he starts talking about the struggles that are going on in his mind.

No one you have been and no place you've ever gone ever leaves you.

The new parts of you simply jump in the car and go along for the rest of the ride.

And this is where he realizes where he's getting all the professional success that he ever dreamed of, and he's miserable.

Off the road, life was a puzzle.

Without that nightly hit of adrenaline the show provided, I was at loose ends.

And whatever it was that was always eating at me rose up and came calling.

Eventually, I had to come to grips with the fact that at rest, I was not at ease.

And to be at ease, I could not rest.

The show centered and calmed me, but it could not solve my problems.

I had no family, no home, no real life.

I was a runner, not a stayer.

Family was a terrifying and compelling thought for me in 1980.

Yet on this album, I'd begun to write about that life.

A part of me truly admired it and felt it was where real manhood lies.

I just wasn't any good at it.

He's talking about his inability up until this point to actually establish meaningful relationships and connections with other people.
