The copyright date for the song in Bella Donna is 1974, which is odd because Stevie has always said it was written for Christine, a woman she didn't really meet until 1975. Maybe I remember it wrong?
Anyway, I do know the song was ostensibly written for Christine because she told Stevie she wanted to pack it in with the Mac presumably because she wanted to leave John and life on the road. This is believable: Bob Weston says Christine was talking this way in 1973.
