Is “Take it to the Limit” by the Eagles a love song?

The only line that makes me think it is is “Will you still be mine?” Other than that it doesn’t seem like it is. What do you think?

To me the song is about a guy who has spent younger life seeking thrills / experiences and not allowing any woman to catch him to make him settle down.. But when you start getting older the excitement of freedom and excess starts to lose it's excitement and more and more He starts having thoughts of woman in the past who probably loved him and would have settled down with him and had a family with him... He has a level of regret that he cannot seem to stop burning the candle at both ends, he cannot give up his running away and running trying to find new experiences.. Even though he is getting too old for this kind of lifestyle.. But he is addicted to the path..

Another song that has a very similar theme is Against The Wind from Bob Seager..
