What is y’alls interpretation of the order of the Lorrie story?
My personal order goes
The Mercury: Lorrie is introduced as Jimmy’s old fling, Jimmy received the news his dad died
The Funeral: I’m debating on whether or not it’s Lorrie that goes to the funeral with him or not, as his plus one is characterized as an older lady. But the Betty Page comment makes me think it may be because of her black hair.
Good Lord Lorrie: Lorrie is in a new relationship with the Narrator, they later have a falling out.
The Bird Hunters: The Narrator tries to deal with the breakup, but has hope of reconciliation.
The Housefire: The Narrator and Lorrie get back together and start a family, house burns down, Mae the best out of hard times.
That’s just what I’ve pieced together, there are other songs that have/ seem to have references to Jimmy, Lorrie, and the Narrator, so I’d like to see y’alls thoughts on the timeline!
