CHORUS 1:
E                                       
Well, I-m leavin Mississippi and I'm looking for higher ground.
     G              F#        F             E        
Said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around.
E
Well, I ain-t proud of the things I-ve done, so I-ve got to change it now.
       G              F#        F             E
I said 7 long months 39 days to turn my ways around


BRIDGE 1:
          A                        E
I got an 18 wheeler and a worn out dog
      A                               B
And I ain-t got nothing to say to the law.
      A                                        E
I got 10 more miles and I-m hittin that county line
      B
And I ain-t got no more worries on my mind.

VERSE:
E
Well, my worn out jeans didn-t fit no more, had long hair on my back.
               G             F#               F        E               
I guess that-s not the best appearance for that judge in black.
E
So, he picked up his pen and he put me away for a little stretch of time.
       G              F#         F           E
I said 7 long months 39 days and never did a crime
