Lyric discussion by da gumba 

isn't this song about life and death? Dead Man's Hand...who wants to take that long-shot gamble? chrome three wheelers, bronze beauties..isnt' that heaven? i could be wrong, but i think the song speaks to risk and reward, a fulfilling life vs. a boring life. uncle joe finally took that chance and ended up at fire lake....but he's now in biker's paradise. and who's gonna tell aunt sarah that he's gone? seger probably wrote this about a loved one dying and then what happens to them in the afterlife for a hero's death. almost like viking mythology. but who knows.

@da gumba You\'re first 3 sentences ---LOVED and THUMBS UP!...the song captions my feelings as a man, (I recently loss my beloved Wife, in this bleeping rat race world). I have this YouTube song link posted to my FB commemorative Post of me Hurting for her :(
