Thirty-Nine Miles From Mobile lyrics

[Instrumental]
I got to hitchhike back to Memphis
Trying to get back to my home
Traveling broke and hungry
Lookin’ for my lover all day long
Well I’m just thirty-nine miles from Mobile
I can’t make it on my own

I got busted in [?]
I spent two nights in the county jail
You gave me two months on the chain gang
Well I got loose and I jumped my bail
And I’m just thirty-nine miles from Mobile
With the police on my trail, down the rail
[Instrumental]
