On the surface, this is about a cowboy who refuses to fall in love, but it could also be about a young man who discovers guitars, joins a band, pays his dues and suffers for his art. The stress of being a Rock Star is a recurring theme in Eagles music (e.g. "Life In The Fast Lane"). The overall theme is how you must suffer for your art.

The Eagles what a band, the song is about a young man getting advice from an older more wiser man.On love,or gambling I would guess going by the lyrics.

I once heard Don Henly tell a story about a fan that came up to him and said, "I figured out what 'Desperado' is about. It's about the Symbomese Liberation Army! right?"
Don replied, "If that's what it means to you..."

The last line says it all -- "You'd better let somebody love you, before its too late." It is advice to a person who is afraid to fall in love. "your prison is walking through this world all alone"
