Well Im leavin mississippi
And im looking for higher ground
Said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around
Well I aint proud of the things Ive done
So Ive 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 aint got nothing to say to the law
I got 10 more miles and Im hittin that county line
And I aint got no more worries on my mind
Well Im leavin mississippi
And im looking for higher ground
Said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around
Well I aint proud of the things Ive done
So Ive got to change it now
I said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around
Well my worn out jeans didnt fit no more
Had long hair on my back
I guess thats 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 aint got nothing to say to the law
I got 10 more miles and Im hittin that county line
And I aint got no more worries on my mind
Well Im leavin mississippi
