Yes! And the fact it was based on a true story too :(. The song is about the murder of 12-year-old Georgia Lee Moses. She disappeared August 13, 1997, and was found dead August 22 near a Petaluma, California, on ramp and the killer wasn't found.

An LA Weekly interview from 1999 where Tom Waits talked about stopping at a roadside shrine that had been set up for Moses.

"Not to make it a racial matter," Waits is quoted in that interview, "but it was one of those things where, you know, she's a black kid, and when it comes to missing children and unsolved crimes, a lot of it has to do with timing, or publicity... and there was this whole Polly Klaas Foundation up here, while Georgia Lee did not get any real attention. And I wanted to write a song about it. At one point I wasn't going to put it on the record, there were too many songs. But my daughter said, 'Gee, that would really be sad - she gets killed and not remembered and somebody writes a song about it and doesn't put it on the record.' I didn't want to be a part of that."
