Cette chanson évoque la nostalgie d'un musicien, Lonesome Dave, qui autrefois remplissait les scènes de rock et faisait vibrer le public. On ressent à travers les paroles un élan de regret face à l'évolution musicale, où le disco a pris le pas sur le rock’n’roll, laissant Dave dans l'oubli. Les souvenirs de sa vie animée, entre concerts et moments de joie simple comme partager un repas dans une chambre d'hôtel, contrastent avec une réalité où le temps a emporté son esprit festif. Au fond, l'auteur se questionne sur ce qu'il est devenu, prenant conscience que rien ne reste éternel.
