Tom Petty - Down South lyrics

rate me

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 And a little more
