Down South

Down South

TOM PETTY

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 Ie 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 Ie to your door

Let me sleep on your floor

I'll give you all I have

And a little more

Spanish moss down south

Finally hero to my childhood

He nagret to me no good

Clavering and doorworks

Cheese goes down south

Spirits cross the dead fields

Mosquitoes hit the windshield

All document remain sealed

So if Ie 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
