Well, I'm leavin Mississippi and I'm looking for higher ground

         A                         E
I got an 18 wheeler and a worn out dog
      A                               B7
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
      B7
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
