+ | The song is often considered to be Warren's epitaph on the life he had led. Although not entirely self-referential, much of the song's imagery can be thought of as metaphors for Warren Zevon's life. The song is sung in a fashion similar to country-western music (much in the same way that "[[Rub Me Raw]]" is sang in a blues style), and ends with Warren asking "Who'll lay me out and ease my worried mind, while I'm winding down my dirty life and times?" |
The song's title was later reused for [[Crystal Zevon]]'s biographical work ''[[I'll Sleep When I'm Dead: The Dirty Life and Times of Warren Zevon]]''. |
