I think she was watched because she was breaking the most sacred rule banning interracial relations. She did not just "decide" to leave, she was driven out of town. She lives in a separate neighborhood that is just not the same... as is usually the case, it is racists who are the cause of a neighborhood going "bad"... |

I think it is strongly implied that this is a song about an interracial affair that breaks the rules. Why else would a woman be driven out of town for seeing a man? "Darken my door" is a nod in that direction. The song is subtle and designed to entertain the "knowing" listener more than the person who doesn't pick up the clues. |
