[Verse 1]

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


[Chorus]

So if I come to your door

Let me sleep on your floor

I'll give you all I have and a little more


[Verse 2]

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


[Chorus]

So if I come to your door

Let me sleep on your floor

I'll give you all I have and a little more


[Verse 3]

Spanish moss down South

Find the heroes of my childhood

Who now can do me no good

Carve their names in dogwood

Chasin' ghosts down South

Spirits cross the dead fields

Mosquitoes hit the windshield

All document remain sealed


[Chorus]

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
