Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run

I don't think it's addressed to anyone in particular.
The "Tramps Like Us" refers to himself and others trying to escape from a small town. When he asks"I wanna know if love is real" that is is a question to which, he says, he was searching for the answer for many years. With his marriage to Patti and their children the answer is Yes.
