Riding the school bus on a dry and dusty Georgia road, cicadas chirping, the other guys cornered me in the back row. I knew what was gonna happen.

There was a virus going 'round; papa caught it, and he died last spring

And now mama doesn't seem to want to do much of anything

And she and Billy Joe was throwing somethin' off the Tallahatchie Bridge

I love that song. I miss songs with actual stories. Instead we now have "Ga Ga Ooh La La" and "All the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies, all the single ladies"

At the time I thought Billy Joe was tricked at the brothel tents by a man dressed as a woman.

Fantastic strings arrangement, too.

This same scene happened to me at that age, only I wasn't crying, I was jumping up and down spinning around with joy, gleefully screaming:

I'VE BEEN WITH A MAN. I'VE BEEN WITH A MAN. DID YOU HEAR ME??
