“Julie’s Sixteenth Birthday” tells the story of Jim, a guy who hangs out in bars, and enjoys a drink, or two, a little more than he should. He tells his friend Lou that he can’t stay at the bar long tonight, because his daughter Julie is turning 16 that very day, and going out on her first date. But Jim loses track of time, (and the number of beers he’s had), and proceeds to get behind the wheel of his car, where he hopes to speed back in time to see Julie off on her big night. As he reaches for a bottle of booze under the seat, he slams into an oncoming car. In the hospital, Jim learns that a young man was injured, and a teenaged girl died.

Nobody sees the twist at the end of the song coming.

“I said, ‘Lou, should I pass on, before she comes in,

be sure and tell Julie how sorry I am for spoiling her birthday.”

“He said ‘Jim, save your breath, because when you meet her

in heaven, you can tell her yourself.’”

After the recording, Broussard decided to title the album after his ode to paternal vehicular manslaughter. Bult says he was never consulted.

“We took a picture of me and my guitar, which I thought was going to be the cover,” he said. “But Ted met this girl at a restaurant, and asked her parents if he could use their daughter on the front of my album.”
