From the DT: click here.

Back when this song was written, you could legally get heroin and morphine and cocaine at the druggists's--not to mention ETOH--so who knows what he was loaded on? Could've been the dancing, even. Doesn' seem like the song says.

Maybe someone knows the song's history--if there is one.
