I'm gonna leave this town
An' I'm goin' back down South
I'm gonna leave this town
Lord, an' I'm goin' back down South
Where they gonna treat me like a king
Eat chicken at ev'ry howl
I drank wine, ev'ry night
I go, to go fishin' ev'ry day
I drank wine, ev'ry night
An' go fishin' ev'ry day
Leavin' church on a Sunday
Gon' lay in the sun an' play (yeah!)
I'm still a backdoor man
But I ain't gonna tote my forty-four, no more
I'm still a backdoor man
But I ain't gonna tote my forty-four, no more
I'm still built for comfort
An' my name reign ev'ry where I go
My name reign in Mississippi
Reign in Georgia, too
My name reign in Mississippi
An' Alabama an' Georgia, too
I'm goin' back down South
Where the woman sure know what to do
Uuuuh!
