You know George Thorogood claimed to never use drugs and wasn't a drinker yet he constantly sang about that particular lifestyle. So to say that Neil Young wasn't talking about heroin no one can exactly say one way or another, but if you consider the last two lines of the song, "You take my hand, I'll take your hand, together we may get away". If he was referring to a physical relationship with a love of his life they would not be able to take each other's hand and together get away. Yet if he was talking about heroin, metaphorically........I think you can say that he was referring to heroin. But I would like to think that he is allowing the minds of each listener to interpret the song as it effects the soul of the individuals passion at the time of ones personal intervention.
