I am a city feller transplanted in Arkansas. I always thought it would be hilarious if a DJ would slip this song into the middle of a classic country set. It is so country-western, but with these drug laced sarcastic laconic words and un-middle-american images. It also reminds me of a friend who strangely use(s)(d) needles, loves women, lived some time in Kentucky, and loves horses/gambling. He is smart, funny and "gets it" but is a real puzzle with the Thanatos thing. I always think about John for a minute when I hear this song...It is probably about as good as any great country-western song and that is just a side-line for the Stones!
