@cavern Gosh I\'m 16 years late to the discussion but here is how interpret this line very generically:\r\n\r\nThere\'s very little doubt about this: The girl initially gave off one impression about her and later the writer (Dylan) finds out that really wasn\'t true.\r\n\r\nIn all likelihood, the girl either misrepresented something about herself from the beginning of their relationship (\'from the farm\' probably means humble background / humble dreams and ambition and simple-minded, which is clearly not true now) OR Dylan is implying that that she seems to have changed her position on certain things. \r\n\r\nThe first meaning implies that Dylan...

The line "you wern't really from the farm" refers to Bob Dylan's relationship with Edie Sedgwick, and Edie Sedgwick's childhood
