[Verse 1]
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 the woman treat me like a king
Eat chicken at every howl

[Verse 2]
I drank wine every night
I go, to go fishin' everyday
I drank wine every night
An' go fishin' everyday
Leavin' church on a Sunday
Gon' lay in the sun an' play (yeah!)

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3]
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 every where I go
[Verse 4]
My name reign in Mississippi
Reign in Georgia, too
My name reign in Mississippi (Alabama)
An' Alabama an' Georgia, too
I'm goin' back down South
Where the woman sure know what to do

Uhh!
