Intro chords: twice 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 Bridge: 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 Chorus Instrumental Well, my worn out jeans didn't fit no more, had long hair on my back I guess that's not the best appearance for 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 Bridge Chorus
