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
