- Down South LyricsHeaded 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 Clements
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
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 Clements
Wear seersucker and white linens
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
