This is what he said:

I remember writing that when we got off the road. It was written about a girl that I had met in New England and spent a very short amount of time with. Someone who really, initially, didn’t want to spend time with me, and I talked her into it. And of course, “been down one time, been down two times, never going back again,” is really a sweet sentiment. It’s a naïve sentiment. Because every time you are happy, you create this illusion for yourself that you’re never gonna be unhappy again. Life doesn’t really work that way, and you have to learn to accept that you’ll have ups and downs your entire life. So that was really the sentiment of the song for me.

Stevie thought the song was for her though and said it was the sweetest thing he'd ever written for her because although he says he's never going back at the end he says, "come down and see me again". So, she thought that meant, he really wanted to come back. Of course, she could read the "lay me down in the tall grass" the same way if she wanted to, but I've never really heard her say anything about Second Hand News.Michele
