If the link isn't working, here's the copied text with what a note (maybe from Prine) about the song. Saddle In The Rain notes: That's another song about friendships and relationships, and being let down. Ever since I can remember, when I was a small kid, anytime I had a friend who really let me down, it would affect me. The disappointment was always large with me. So I guess that's why that's a theme I go back to every once in a while. I don't do it with a lot of bitterness. If I'm going to nail somebody, I like to make sure that I give them all the rope in the world, along with a speech about their better points. So they'll know I wrote it because I liked them. Like, "This is going to hurt me a lot more than it's going to hurt you." That extra verse: Southern stars blow lonesome still dark blue and high black clouds shifting orange as they go passing by like some cheap religious painting hanging in the sky you just touch my face and I wanna break right down and cry break down and cry if she should ever come down this way grab her by the throat and say won't you please explain my saddle in the rain.... farmer's nympho daughter moans let's do it til the cows come home.
