On the morning you went away
the air was humid and the sky was gray
I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia
the air was wet, my face was wetter
the pink flowers along the western window made me feel better
I turned the air conditioner on
found the note on scented stationary - you were long gone
I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia
I popped the top off of the aluminum can
let the brine slide down my fingers, man
it was warm, it was warm on my skin
but i felt the cold blast looming on in
I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia
the air was humid and the sky was gray
I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia
the air was wet, my face was wetter
the pink flowers along the western window made me feel better
I turned the air conditioner on
found the note on scented stationary - you were long gone
I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia
I popped the top off of the aluminum can
let the brine slide down my fingers, man
it was warm, it was warm on my skin
but i felt the cold blast looming on in
I had boiled peanuts for breakfast from cairo, georgia

I can only assume the series ends in Tallahassee, where it's migrated, from the location of the peanuts. Unless the Alpha Male brought some cases with him. Not unlikely. They sound pretty foul.
Cairo is only about 30 miles from Tallahassee, and they grow a lot of peanuts around there, and they sell boiled peanuts on the side of the road, so it's very likely he had picked some up from a roadside stand.
