The woman in this song (Maria) is a Hell's Angel (You'd go out riding with the Hell's), she's a former drug dealer (It makes me wonder what you sold), and she's tough. The guy tries to change her ways because she's mean to him (I beg for my supper at night), but he loves her. But then she's sent to prison, probably for the drug dealing, and the guy misses her. When she gets out on parole, she marries another guy and murders him for his money (Married for the money and you blew him away), according to her mantra (Life is for the taking). The guy sees her photograph on the front page of the newspaper and knows they won't be together, 'cause she'll be spending life in prison.
