Tom T. Hall：Meaning of The Adventures Of Linda Bohannon Songmeaning

The song tells the story of Linda Bohannon, a natural beauty who lived in a small town and helped out on her family's farm. Despite her stunning looks, she didn't pay much attention to the catcalls of the truckers and instead one day, she gets into a light-blue Mercedes and vanishes. After being missing for a week, Linda calls her worried parents and says she's okay, but she's living in a movie star's house in LA. Although Linda comes back to her hometown with a baby years later, nobody knows who the father is. Currently, Linda works in a gift shop and takes care of her son by watching westerns on TV. The song is a story about how things can change in someone's life even when you don't know all the details.
