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 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 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 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 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

Well I'm broke, lovesick, and driftin' and I've done a lot of hard, hard livin' Livin' on the road and seein' how it goes I grew up fast and it shows Cause livin' the nightlife is where I belong and drinkin' with the drunks who don't want to go home and it's hard, it's rough but I can't quite get enough Oh I'm doin' the best that I can Well I'm broke, lovesick, and driftin' and I've had my share of good women I once had a good home, a wife to call my own, but now I'm here drunk and alone Cause livin' the nightlife is where I belong and drinkin' with the drunks who don't want to go home and it's hard, it's rough but I can't quite get enough Oh I'm doin' the best that I can

Well my name is Cecil Brown and I'm from a little town and people don't think much of me I never understood why they thought I was no good But this is how it seems The feelings of this worn out cowboy will make you feel so cold I've traveled up and down so many kind of lonesome roads I once took the high road and it took me straight to hell and I stood there all by myself Cause all alone's where I feel like I belong Cause it don't matter who's right or wrong The feelings of this worn out cowboy will make you feel so cold I've traveled up and down so many kind of lonesome roads Pickin' up the pieces of my broken family Is not an easy sight to see And as the leaves have changed it helps ease the pain and sufferin' they left for me The feelings of this worn out cowboy will make you feel so cold I've traveled up and down so many kind of lonesome roads
Well, we were lovin' and a-huggin' and a-kissin' and a-squeezin' on a Friday an' Saturday night Just a-dancin' and a-prancin' and a lotta romancin' and boy, did it sure feel right But now we're cussin' and a-fussin' and we can't win nuthin' ev'ry Friday an' Saturday night Now there's no more dancin' for this king of romancin' 'cause it looks like I've lost the fight Just a little more lovin' and no more cussin' would make me feel alright How 'bout some lovin' and a-huggin and a little bit of rubbin' on this cold and lonely night Because I'm lonesome and I'm jonesing for a little bit of lovin' and baby, I'm just your type Now there's no more dancin' for this king of romancin' and it looks like I've lost the fight Well now my sweet little baby done got plum crazy and she's lookin' to start a fight And she's a-cussin' and a-fussin', talkin' 'bout her cousin walkin' around with a forty-five And she's a tough one and a fun one who can sure give a good one if you ever get to spend the night She's a sexy honey-baby that's just plum crazy with them wild and crazy eyes Well, we were lovin' and a-huggin' and a-kissin' and a-squeezin' on a Friday an' Saturday night Just a-dancin' and a-prancin' and a lotta romancin' and boy, did it sure feel right But now we're cussin' and a-fussin' and we can't win nuthin' ev'ry Friday an' Saturday night Now there's no more dancin' for this king of romancin' and it looks like I've lost the fight

Sittin' in the bayou country, just me and my fishin' line I raised a lot of hell and I hollered, sippin' on that Georgia moonshine Well, I know how to have a damn good time And I take my shots straight out of the jug and I like to get pure drunk in that Mississippi mud Well lets throw us a little party baby, I'll call a few friends of mine We'll dance all night till the sun comes up and we'll drink our selves completely blind Then we'll rock on down the line And I take my shots straight out of the jug and I like to do a little dance in that Mississippi mud Well, I was raised by an awful alligator he taught me how to walk the line He used to deal cards from the bottom of the deck, but a Tennessee woman took his life But he sure gave me some damn good advice And I take my shots straight out of the jug and I like to get pure drunk in that Mississippi mud And I take my shots straight out of the jug and I like to do a little dance in that Mississippi mud

As I watch the sun set slowly I hold back the tears And I can't help but wonder why the lord had to put me here Caused I've raised hell All night long And I've seen a good man go wrong And I can't help The way that I am Cause the whiskey weed and women had the upper hand Livin' lonely is the life that I been livin' I got drunk the day my paw went to prison And when my mama died I just didn't care about livin' And I drank myself blind just tryin' to find a good reason And I've raised hell All night long And I've seen a good man go wrong And I can't help The way that I am Cause the whiskey weed and women have the upper hand Yeah the whiskey weed and women have the upper hand, hand, hand

Livin alone, singin my songs Thinkin bout the good times when you were my own Lady you taught me how to hurt and cry, and each day I'm not with you I die more inside Honey sweet lady why did you go? and leave me here dying all alone in my world? It's all gone wrong since you've been gone So give me 5 shots of whiskey to help kill the misery and pain you put me through Thanks for the good times, for they were the best of my life I spent with you Now what can I do? Walkin' on Broadway not havin a care I see you and your new guy who's strokin' your hair And I can't keep staying here in my hometown, got to get on with my life somehow It's all gone wrong since you've been gone So give me 5 shots of whiskey to help kill the misery and pain you put me through Thanks for the good times, for they were the best of my life I spent with you and I still love you
