I first heard this song as an innocent pre-teen living. I believe this act was on the first I had ever seen in concert. At that age, you never expected a country song to be dirty, let alone what it really implied. Now, more than one decade has passed, and I understand the meaning. It's about an innocent guy who meets a hooker and immediately falls in love. What you don't hear is how she cleaned him out and how he ended up alone or taking a dead end job only until he had enough to make the long, lonely bus trip home. After one decade, it's amazing what a mind can come up with. It's a great song and that's why it had an effect on me.
