The muffled guitar riff sounds a bit like the beginning of I Believe where Richie does some kind of muffled slide, too, before he starts the dirty riff.
The line "These days you're two paychecks away" was used again in Hey God. So I think it's not too far fetched to say it's been worked on and recorded during KTF but it didn't make the record and while writing for These Days that specific line stayed in mind and was used again.
I just read the lyrics and this is not about Dorothea or the Grey Summer... It's a fictional story about a couple that got married too young and are having issues because of it... however they are just soooo in love blah blah blah...
