Dad went back to that Western Auto store. The wagons were still stacked the same way. He pointed to the wagon on the bottom and said to the salesman, 'That's the biggest one you have, but not the biggest one you sell, right?' The salesman told him he could order a bigger one. Dad told him get it ... and when they put me in that wagon, and you couldn't see me from under the (wood panels) on the side. ... That was what 'Blue Suede Shoes' meant to him.
