I've got you,
You've got whatever's left of me to get.
Our conversations are like minefields,
No one's found a safe way through one yet.
I spend a lot of money,
I buy you white gold.
We raise up a little roof,
Against the cold
On Southwood Plantation Road,
Where at night the stars blow like milk across the sky.
Where the high wires drop,
Where the fat crows fly.
All night long you giggle and scream,
Your brown eyes deeper than a dream.
I am not going to lose you,
We are going to stay married.
In this house like a Louisiana graveyard,
Where nothing stays buried.
On Southwood Plantation Road,
Where the dead will walk again.
Put on their Sunday best,
Mingle with unsuspecting Christian men.
La la la la la

I live in Tallahassee, too. I also live in Southwood (even more so, the road I live on is right off of Southwood Plantation Road). There are no trailers on it, but from the beginning of the road to the end, there's about five or six "impoverished" houses (it's about 2-3 miles long too). Southwood itself is a yuppy community where nearly every house is on top of one another and picked out of a standard designs.
'Tallahassee' was written before Southwood was in existence. Where one turns st the end of SPR into 'Southwood' there used to be a couple of trailers.
