Bowling Green, Florida

 an abandoned (?) trailer park,
BOwling Green, FLA
"murder in the trailer park" -
michael timmins, a cowboy junkies song
 Murder tonight in the trailer park Mrs. Annabelle Evans found
With her throat cut after dark
Her pockets turned inside out
Her dresser drawers turned upside down
Anna's neighbor Peg, identifies the body Lets out a hollow kind of sound
Homicide is tying yellow ribbons Around her silver Air Stream
Red cherries slashing up the night Cutting through that cordoned crime scene
There's been a murder In the trailer park tonight
Murder tonight in the trailer park
Pack your things, Ann MarieWe're heading west
We're going to make a fresh startI've been saving pennies
Been looking forward to this day
No time for questions are you coming
Or are you going to stay?
Crosstown at the Waterton
George Evans is sitting tall and tight
Buying drinks for all the regulars
Bragging about how them bones
Danced for him tonight
There's been a murderIn the trailer park tonight
Murder tonight in the trailer park
Faceless man counting crumpled bills
Hotel neon fights the dark
TV set in the corner, they're talking murder
On the late-night news
He turns down the sound
Waits for the sports
He only wants to know
Did I win or did I lose?
There's been a murderI
n the trailer park tonight
Murder in the trailer park
There's been a murder
In the trailer park tonight,
yeah yeah
There's been a murderIn the trailer park
Murder
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
There's been a murder
In the trailer park tonight
 tonight
