When I listen to this song I pick up some strong references to touring, and the relentless pressure on the artist to perform. It might sound stupid, but I thought there was something to it. I've known tons of people, but I'm sure I've influenced most of them in one way or the other. I've seen a million faces an I've rocked them all I've seen a lot of things, been a lot of places, met a lot of people, but I keep on "standing tall" for the lord. "I've been everywhere, still I'm standing tall" I play for keeps, cause I might not make it back" "I walk these streets, a loaded six string on my back.

"Sometimes I sleep, sometimes its not for days" "dead" being shut up, and "alive" being accepted. "steel horse" may be a metaphor for having a stronger foundation for faith than others who have "regular horses", or looser morals and convictions.

"Its all the same, only the names will changeĮveryday, I see less and less christians standing up for what they believe in (at least on the internet)the same opposition to our ideals will always be there- and get stronger. It seems to me that almost all the lines could be connected to being a christian. OK, this interpretation was most probably not intentional by Bon Jovie, but was something that came from my own musings.
