Lyrics

Well I'm leavin' Mississippi And I'm 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 I'm 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 I'm 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
