I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again

Ridin' into town alone by the light of the moon
I'm lookin' for old Sukie Jones, she crazy horse saloon
Barkeep gimme a drink, that's when she caught my eye
She turned to give me a wink, that'd make a grown man cry

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back

Come easy, go easy, all right until the rising sun
I'm calling all the shots tonight, I'm like a loaded gun
Peelin' off my boots and chaps, I'm saddle sore
Four bits gets you time in the racks, I scream for more
Fools' gold out of their mines, the girls are soaking wet
No tongue's drier than mine, I'll come when I get back

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again

I'm ridin', I'm loadin' up my pistol
I'm ridin', I really got a fistful
I'm ridin', I'm shinin' up my saddle
I'm ridin', this snake is gonna rattle

I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back
I'm back in the saddle again
I'm back

Ridin' high
Ridin' high
Ridin' high

    All of the above. Sure it was about sex, but it was absolutely written more about Heroin. It's what Joe Perry admitted he was on when he wrote the riff, and if I recall correctly he was with Tyler. Horse - Heroin, Dry tongue, side effect of heroin withdrawl, Sukee Jones - Groupie on tour he can trade heroin with for sex and/or that knows where to procure it, up all night, high having sex with Sukee Jones, ridin high. shining up my saddle again, it's commonly referred to with heroin injection, shining up the spot you inject just like the dr. does with a swab. Sex was the secondary interest in this song.
