7 Months 39 Days

Well I'm leavin mississippi



and im looking for higher ground



said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around







Well I ain't proud of the things I've done



so I've got to change it now



I said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around







I got an 18 wheeler and a worn out dog



and I ain't got nothing to say to the law



I got 10 more miles and I'm hittin' that county line



and I ain't got no more worries on my mind







Well I'm leavin mississippi



and im looking for higher ground



said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around







Well I ain't proud of the things I've done



so I've got to change it now



I said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around







Well my worn out jeans didn't fit no more



had long hair on my back



I guess that's not the best 'pearance



to that judge in black







So he picked up his pen and he put me away



for a little stretch of time



I said 7 long months 39 days and never did a crime







I got an 18 wheeler and a worn out dog



and I ain't got nothing to say to the law



I got 10 more miles and I'm hittin' that county line



and I ain't got no more worries on my mind







Well I'm leavin mississippi



and im looking for higher ground



said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around







Well I ain't proud of the things I've done



so I've got to change it now



I said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around







I said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around



I said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around



I said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around



I said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around
