I woke up on a cement floor this mornin'

My head felt like somebody been walkin' on it

I 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 theTupelo county line

I gotta do my time



Well I ain't 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 theTupelo 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 ain't 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 theTupelo county line

I gotta do my time



I gotta do my time

I gotta do my time

I gotta do my time
