Píseň: Down south

Interpret:
Tom Petty
Album:
Higway companion
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
find the heros of my childhood
who now can do me no good
carve their names in dogwood


chasin' ghosts 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
