When Jon Foreman performed this song at Parachute 2007 (in New Zealand) he explained that this song was half based on a true story: he was inspired by a homeless woman he saw everyday in a town he was living in and was struck by the sadness of her situation. And like the previous people have posted, he points out that she's still somebody's baby.
