[edit] Story
The song is about a teenage boy who goes to work for a "lonely widowed woman", who was located out in the middle of nowhere "A teenage kid so far from home". One night, she comes to him wearing a dress "she hadn't worn in quite a while." He is most likely referring to the dress as seductive and that he was the first one to see her in it in a while. He also notices a difference in her attitude. The two make love "She had to ride the heat of passion." The song goes on to relate that years afterward every time he passes a wheat field, he remembers the summer with her.
