What happened to her? Did she just get tired of trying to make a life, did she just quit and give up her life to a man whose hands are as cold as ice? Standing in the window she stares out at the stars in the sky. She gets out of bed and has to pour herself a drink - a strong drink to calm her anxiety to fall asleep. Laying in bed next to this man whom she cannot stand touching her, with his cold and passionless touch. She pulls off and leaves him with a smile and that hope. No doubt indicating that this man will soon be dead and they will be able not only to spend time but his money too, together. She gets into her car and the young man leans into her window and they kiss - she swears that one day they will not have to part. Her eyes, when she leaves as well as her smile tells it all.Īs she drives to the city, she imagines what it will be like when they get together with great anticipation! She arrives they fall into each others arms and satisfy their lust's and passions. He knows that she is going back to the city to fulfill her sexual needs. He knows what she is doing - either by his social influences, or he accepts the fact that he wants to keep his young love and he does love her. But a man does not become rich being a fool. In order to meet her love, she lies to her husband and tells him that she is going out to see a friend who is feeling poorly, or depressed. She can't let go of her life because the boy is poor and can not offer her anything or money which is important to her.

Her feminine desires pushes her into and affair with a boy that she has met one that makes her feel the way she felt when she was in school. There is no sexual satisfaction in her marriage and soon her lust drives her so insane that she is willing to risk everything that she has. Those raging hormones that drove her to learn what it is a man likes forever haunts her in her passionless relationship.

He marries her and dress her all up in lace and she goes in style with him on his arm.Īnd while this may be exciting for a time, a big house, social parties, big cars and money she still has to grow up and become mature. Well in this story a young girl employs her charms upon an old man who is swept off his feet. A cute smile to an old man with money, a bat or wink of the eye and they have them snared. They learn what it is that a man wants, or most men anyway. Most of them have big dreams of getting married to a rich man so that they can live a life of leisure and jet set around the world thinking this will satisfy them. The fast life living in the big city produces an ocean of competition amongst the young girls especially in high school. The narrator is obviously a country dweller who tells the tale of how riches, cannot fill every void in one's life especially this city girl who woefully comes to this realization. This is definitely one of my favorite Eagles songs.
