Wichita Jail lyrics - The Charlie Daniels Band

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 ain't got a cent of the money I had

I spent it

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

There's 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 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 the Tupelo County line,

I gotta do my time

I gotta do my time

I gotta do my time

I gotta do my time
