Wichita Jail Lyrics - 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
