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

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
