Lyric discussion by harvest moon 

Watch this shit on Live At Massey Hall, it's a beautiful suite from A Man Needs a Maid to Heart of Gold. and this is far from sexist, the opposite i think. it's exposing his weakness for women..you get a sense that he is heartbroken in this song because of woman, now all he wants is the woman without the emotional distress-someone to cook, clean, etc..as sexist as it sounds it's just the opposite.

One thing about Young I find so funny is that his songs are really as close as we get to knowing Young. He always throws in line that might be directed to his own life (ex cortez the killer "and I know she's living there, and she loves me to this day") that makes his songs so personal and great. But once he stops singing, he is kind of like this mystery.. a man who stays quiet on his ranch. a respectable old man full of mysteries but lets down a guard when he sings that lets all kinds of people in..amazing

i agree man there is nothing sexist about it. Neil is one of the artist you have to read between the lines with ive always got the feeling that this song was about not wanting to be alone.
