| It’s plainly simple: fears, pessimistic ideas and the coping related to getting old. | |

I think it's about the palestinian exodus after the six-day war (1967). Let's see: 1)HOLY MOSES (also a prophet in Quran). 2)I HAVE REMOVED ( to Jordan). 3)DISTANT COUSIN FROM THE LINE (both religions descended from Abraham). 4)HOLY MOSES ... LIVE IN PEACE (pretty obvious). |

I have a different view! The meaning of the song is: no matter how successful or rich you are, eventually you have to suffer and one day you're surely gonna die (But either on the strip or on the edge of town, everybody pays). This song was written after a bike accident when he broke his shoulder, his collarbone and some ribs. There was some doubt if he would ever be able to play guitar again and he recovered fully (I got shot off my horse, So what? I'm up again and playing in one of these big saloons on main) and (Everybody has to leave some blood here on the floor). The accident makes him aware of his own mortality (Nobody's driving me underground. Not yet anyway). Actually, I think the gambling is only a metaphor for life! |
