Is it just me or does anyone else ever think that Dylan may well be singing to a woman he actually had a relationship with, but at the same time hes singing about his own personal journey and relationship with the human race as a whole. The woman personafies the human race. He heads out to the east( capitalist 'right') and gets her out of a jam, using a little to much force( suggesting his naivity about his hopes for saving her[and people being able to live as sosialists]) then they drive out west( sosialist left) as fast as they could, abandon the car and go their seperate ways( when the initial rush has all run out). The poet is a figurative representation of Dylans muse. he lives with them both( his relationship with human race and his muse[the three parts of what is his artistry]) in a basement( within/absorbed in) Montague street in Greenwhich village. This refers to his time living there and playing in the cafes at night, when he developed as an artist. When he says finally the bottom fell out hes talking about that period of his life, living in greenwhich village, playing in cafes with the revolutionary atmosphere in the air. 'Tangled up in blue'
I believe the "women" are "the human race" and the song is about Bob's career from the early 60s to the mid 70s.
"Heading out for the East Coast" -> "Going to New York"
"Abandoned it out West" -> "The San Francisco singer-songwriter Scene!"
"As I was walking away" & "I had a job in the great north woods" -> "Bob's temporary retirement in the North (Woodstock)"
"So now I’m goin’ back again - I got to get to her somehow" & "But me, I’m still on the road" - "Bob starts his endless World Wide tour"...

A woman is seldom really a woman, more than likely several women! What are partners if they're not reflections of who you think you are?
