Headed back down south 

Gonna see my daddy's mistress 

Gonna buy back her forgivness 

Pay off every witness 


One more time down south 

Sell the family headstones 

Drag a bag of dry bones 

Make good on my back loans 


So if I come to your door 

Let me sleep on your floor 

I'll give you all I have 

And a little more 


Sleep late down south 

Look up my former mentors 

Live off yankee winters 

Be a landlord and a renter 


Create myself down south 

Impress all the women 

Pretend I'm samuel clemens 

Wear seersucker and white linens 


So if I come to your door 

Let me sleep on your floor 

I'll give you all I have 

And a little more 


Spanish moss down south 

Spirits cross the dead fields 

Mosquitoes hit the windshield 

All document remain sealed 


So if I come to your door 

Let me sleep on your floor 

I'll give you all I have 

And a little more 


I'll give you all I have 

And a little more
