Headed back down south Gonna see my daddy's mistress Gonna buy back her forgiveness 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 Find the heroes of my childhood Who now can do me no good Carve their names in dogwood Chase a ghost down south Spirits cross the dead fields Mosquitoes hit the windshield All documents 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
