Contrary to poular belief, this song is not about a woman, its about Cocain. Back in the 70's a lot of songwriters used cocaine as a songwriting tool. In fact a lot of them couldnt function without it. Neil's far from that but he did do a lot of coke and so did all of his friends and associates. He's singing about how its not so easy for me now(to quit), and how he misses the days(come back now). Read Neils bio its really good.
