I used to listen to this in my room as a teenager (on an LP - ha) and just cry. I wanted someone to come and offer me a way out from my boring teenage life and add a spark of adventure without pretense. This song made that prospect "real" to me. 2 unperfect people with a chance to find something better if they leave their hang-ups and past behind, and NOT become one of the losers who never get out. In otherwords, win. Fast Forward 25 years and it still hits me the same way every time I hear it. It's so powerful that it instantly brings me back to that bedroom and all of those emotions. The lyrics are pure, the sentiment real and uncorny, and the circumstances, most importantly, believeable. Bruce is one heck of a storyteller.
