After the Goldrush

When Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Linda Ronstadt recorded it in 1999
for their collaboration Trio, they got some unique insight into the song from
the man who wrote it. Said Parton: "When we were doing the Trio album,
I asked Linda and Emmy what it meant, and they didn't know. So we called
Neil Young, and he didn't know. We asked him, flat out, what it meant, and
he said, 'Hell, I don't know. I just wrote it. It just depends on what I was
taking at the time. I guess every verse has something different I'd taken.'

What do you think it means?

I always did like this song. You do a really good job on it, sir!

Thanks. I have always like it myself... even though I don't understand what it means.
Perhaps it is hitting at some subconscious level, bypassing logic and going straight for the heart.
