this song is admittedly an aquired taste. In it he takes his American Folk Pop idium to an almost ridiculous faux country level. If one can get past that, the song remains an important centerpiece for the final chapter of WZ's career. In a catalogue of albums recounting his fast lifestyle, and an unabashed recognition of where it would get him, he finally sees death hunting him down for using his life up faster than others. He knows he is to be punished for his transgressions but he feels no remorse. He wants his last cigarette and his last lay so he doesn't have to fear death. It is a very powerful song.
