Neil Young – Cowgirl In The Sand Lyrics 12 years ago
I believe this song to be about a prostitute, On a recording of live at Massy Hall neil says that the song is about the beaches of spain
Multiple beaches in spain in that time period contained many prostitutes

Is this place
at your command
May Refer to the domain in which a hooker would claim to be her area.

Can I stay here
for a while
Can I see your
sweet sweet smile
This phrase would be the man asking to be the next customer, possibly not the first time

Old enough now
to change your name
Would mean that she is old enough to change her name, as in a stripper name, or become married and change her last name

When so many love you
is it the same?
Could state that after selling her self to many men, is making love still the same and as special as it is intended to be

It's the woman in you
that makes you want
to play this game.
Referring to sexual hormones or urges on the shallow side, however more deeply that she may have been struggling for money and her womany urge to be independent and find away to survive on her own forced her into the "game"

Hello ruby in the dust
Has your band
begun to rust
I feel this refers to her beauty and person deserves better than to be in the dust of her profession, and that her gig has began to fall apart because shes getting older and may not be as wanted as the younger competition

After all
the sin we've had
I was hopin' that
we'd turn back
Maybe the man has started to fall for her and he wants to settle down and provide for her, but the woman in her wont let her so she refuses

Hello woman of my dreams
This is not
the way it seems
Purple words
on a grey background
To be a woman
and to be turned down

finally she has reached an age where she is no longer at interest anymore, unwanted. everything looks fine on the surface but she now suffers more than ever. purple words get lost in the echo of the ordinary and boring grey background and she was special, but now she is turned down, the worst of all
