  6. I loved this song when it came out! Used to know every word. I do love a good story and this one had everyone guessing. I never knew that she wrote it, though. Cool! Yup--took me back. We all wondered and speculated. I don't think she ever revealed anything else about the lyrics.

    1. I still remember every word, and yes we all discussed all the possibilities. What did they throw off that bridge?!

    1. This one was huge back in the day. People still ask her what they threw over the bridge. She's never said.
