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
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 Explain Request ×
