Well, I beg to differ with all of you. I think this song is one of the meanest, sneakiest songs there is. The line about walking on the dark side of the road? He probably cleared out her checking account and owes child support and doesn't want to be seen.

the worst is "you just sort of wasted my precious time..." Wasn't her time precious too? It's a cruel line, one designed to rankle.

I think Dylan just put his mouth on fast-forward for this one.
