The Outro is more or less the same as the chorus, just play some
of the
notes an octave higher and add some of your own flare and what not.

This is the little end solo (if you'd even call it that).

Partly it's about the boy growing up and not having known it was his father until his mother tells him that it was an acquaintance of the family's who died when he was a kid. The verse with the sexual content is a different scene. His mom has recently told him the truth about his dad and he's pretty messed up over it. Now he's with a woman, maybe a prostitute. He wants to have sex with her but he stops because of "...the look," that she has. Vedder explained that it wasn't the look on her *face* that stops the kid in his tracks... it's actually her vagina that he can't stop staring at.

I think it is basically just a feel good song about a boy and his love for his dog Ol Blue

I loved this song fromthe first time I had heard it, though I was a bit shocked when I found out the meaning behind the song, I had no idea that it was about what it's about, lol. Still, one of the classics from the album "ten"
