My second wife was a very jealous woman. She was beautiful and I loved her and I didn't mess around on her. However, she used to hate it when I'd look at girly magazines. We drove through Texas on our way to California in a 1971 VW camper. One time when we broke down in Texas (we broke down three times coming across the shoulder of that state) I was looking at some magazines in a rest stop.
As I recall I was looking at a motorcycle magazine called Easy Riders, which was liberally peppered with scantily clad motorcycle mamas. For some reason I was drawn to that (and still am. I own a Harley but am married to anyone BUT a motorcycle mama - another story).
Anyway, she gave me hard time about buying the magazine, let alone looking at it. Needless to say I left it on the rack. But, I was pretty pissed off. I wrote this on my twelve string that night at the camp site. I don't think she knew what inspired the song.
