I'm going to leave this town And I'm going back down south I'm going to leave this town And I'm going back down south Where the women treat me like a king Eat chicken in every house
I drink wine every night And go fishin' everyday I drink wine every night And go fishin' everyday Pray in church on Sunday Go and lay in the sun and play
I'm still a backdoor man But I ain't gonna tote my .44 no more I'm still a backdoor man Ain't gonna tote my .44 no more I'm still built for comfort And my name reign everywhere I go
My name reign in Mississippi Reign in Georgia, too My name reign in Mississippi Alabama and Georgia, too I'm going back down south Where the women sure no what to do
I'm going to leave this town And I'm going back down south I'm going to leave this town And I'm going back down south Where the women treat me like a king Eat chicken in every house Hoo, Lawd
