Hewlett's Daughter Lyrics

Cover art for Hewlett's Daughter lyrics by Grandaddy

I may be totally wrong, but to me, this seems like a conversation between the narrator and a man, Hewlett, where the narrator expresses regret for breaking up with the Hewlett’s daughter, as his life has become boring and completely taken up by his job. In fact, he thinks he should have married her, which would have made him Hewlett’s son(in law).
