Lyric discussion by smallgarlic 

I'm 99% sure its about jacking off, because when I saw Jackson Browne live in Sydney, he played this song as the last song of his final encore, and he was telling the audience that "Its odd for a girl to be calling out for this song" as he was listening to audience requests for songs to be played, after that he also added that, "This is an awkward song to end the night with" and started laughing. I'm guessing he felt funny signing off by singing a song about jerking off !
