IMHO this song is sung by the person who stays behind in a small town while the other is off seeing the world or gone to the big city. The person who left is on their throne - thinks they are too good for the small town or the home town. The person behind is not chasing them, but staying put. - only the 'gone person' has the "key". Although the person left behind has been "waiting so long" they do not plan to do so indefinitely. They are "wasted" exhausted. "aint got the time" - Time is ticking. If female, bio-clock is running. Either sex, the good ones are getting hitched. They risk being single and never having a family or "home". It makes sense either way: as a monologue to one's self. "Get your act together or you will end up alone", or to the person who left, "Hey you have a good thing here you are about to lose forever."I think it is a combination. Check out "The Judds" song "Why not me" for a country example of the same topic. Listen to that song and re-read the lyrics again. I don't think this is about drug abuse or addiction. In the 60's, 99% of songs glorified drugs. Exceptions Steppenwolf: "DG the pusher man" and Lynyrd Skynyrd: "that smell". few others. Early rock songs were heavily influenced by jazz, blues, country that show cased a lot of problem relationships. That is still the major topic in all popular music. |
