Tallahassee
I took a trip to your home town
There were hundreds of people all around
I parked my bag at the Double Tree and I took off up Monroe.
A warm spring day and I felt alright
The fog had lifted overnight
I met some kids dressed as butterflies heading south in a parade
They said, "I don't think she lives here anymore
She packed her bags with her Mom and Dad and left for another shore
But we'll be sure to tell her that you came
If she comes to Tallahassee again"
I bought some food and sat on a bench
In a little park called something in French
And with two hundred other folks I watched the parade go by
Went west along Park Avenue
Looking for anyone who knew of you
And at the information booth a girl gave me some beads
She said, "I don't think …................."
A man in an old blue uniform
Was talking about the civil war
When he got to the battle of Natural Bridge I took off west again
Bought a beer at Duval Street
Still asking everyone I meet
If they knew the woman from this town that I was looking for
They all said, …............
My trip here was not a waste
It was from the start a wild goose chase
I know you better now I've seen the town where you were born
I've walked down streets you might have been
Seen people and things you might have seen
We can park our bags at the Double Tree when I see you again.
I know that you don't live here anymore
You packed your bag with your Mom and Dad and landed on my shore
But everyone will tell you that I came
If you come to Tallahassee again.
