Well, I know this hasn't been posted on in a while, but speculation is actually wrong. This song was written by Zac Maloy about his sister, Tava, who is very much alive. At the time he wrote it, they had both moved away from Oklahoma to pursue their dreams (his music, her movie production) and she was living in California. Due to this, they didn't see each other much, and he wrote this song about missing her. She had already been very successful in her behind-the-scenes movie career, and he was very proud of her. I come from the same home town as they do, and remember them both well. He was far preppier than his Nixon image would suggest, but always sang well none-the-less.
