Back In The Saddle Lyrics

Lyric discussion by $p$ 

Cover art for Back In The Saddle lyrics by Aerosmith

Couldn't help but think it's about heroin or cocaine. "She crazy horse saloon" - Horse = heroin. "No tongue's drier than mine" - dry mouth as a side effect when the body "needs" it.

Perhaps it's about sex as well.

I don't know, maybe one or the other.

Just going with my imagination.

@$p$ , Yeah it’s a real good song to open the show with that’s for sure.It’s right up there with Zepplin opening their shows with rock ‘n’ roll. I got to say I always thought the song was about sex but what you said about the drugs really makes a lot of sense but I think it might be a combination. Anyway you slice it the song rocks!

@$p$ - I appreciate your imagination and I hope you use it well, but while H has a lot to do with this song, those aren't references to heroin. The song is about sex, sex and sex- in that order. After that, it's about more sex.
