I think it's "Leave our red Southern souls" instead of "excellent souls". If you look at the photos of his lyrics booklet on the NYT website, it says "red southern souls".

It's definitely "red southern souls" I remember an interview with Matt recently where he said there was a lot going on in this song, mentioning the red southern souls part.
