I woke up on a cement floor this mornin,

My head felt like somebody been walkin on it,

Don't know how I got here,

Don't remember nothin at all,

but if I done all the things that they say I did,

well I sure musta had a ball



Cause in 30 more days

 I'm goin back home,

to see that gal of mine,

but the Wichita Jail

 is a long long way

 from the Tupelo County line,

I gotta do my time



Well I aint got a cent of the money I had

I spent it

Shirts tore, my shoes got a big hole in it,

Theres a king size knot on the side of my head

and I got one big black eye

But brother if you think I look bad,

you oughtta see that other guy



Cause in 30 more days

 I'm goin back home,

to see that gal of mine,

but the Wichita Jail

 is a long long way

 from the Tupelo County line,

I gotta do my time



Well this nine pound hammer feels like it weighs a ton

makin lil ones outta big ones in this red hot Kansas sun

I just hope I can make it 30 more days

and get out of this mess I'm in,

and if I ever get back to Mississippi

I aint ever gonna leave again



Cause in 30 more days

 I'm goin back home,

to see that gal of mine,

but the Wichita Jail

 is a long long way

 from the Tupelo County line,

I gotta do my time

I gotta do my time

I gotta do my time

I gotta do my time
