Brown-Eyed Woman Lyrics

I think this song might be about the prohibition of alcohol in the 1920's...

"1920 when he stepped to the bar, drank to the dregs of the whiskey jar.".....dregs of the whiskey jar meaning lack of liquor.

"1930 when the wall caved in, he paved his way selling red-eyed gin. ".....meaning the end of the prohibition.

I dont know, just my thoughts.

Awesome song no matter what it means!

@rage-fan2002 1930 was the Depression. That was the wall caving in. He could still make money because Prohibition didn't end till 1933.
