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
