Artist/Band: Tom Petty
Lyrics for Song: Down South
Lyrics for Album: Highway Companion [2006]



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
