And while we’re talking lyrics - what, exactly, is a “store bought woman”?

Oh, I love my Rosie child
She got the way to make me happy
You and me, we go in style
Cracklin' Rosie you're a store-bought woman
You make me sing like a guitar hummin'
So hang on to me, girl
Our song keeps runnin' on

    Neil Diamond is referring to alcohol! Makes sense, doesn’t it? He loved his drinks.
