Having been on the road with Gregg for years and spending enormous times cooped up in hotel rooms with nothing to do but talk, I can assure you that joekerr21 is correct. Gregg was in a grocery store in Ft Walton Beach, FL staying at a cheap motel on Hwy 98. He had been working on the song and the name was the last tidbit he needed to finish the song. He was standing in line and the lady behind him was calling out to her daughter, Melissa, who was laughing and sort of teasing her mom by running away.
