Down South Lyrics

Highway Companion
 
Headed 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 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
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
