Lyrics:
and I'm standing all alone
out by the lighthouse
I'll build a house- of paper
Covered with words I can read
She had to teach me what to say
And every year
Now the world holds seven wonders that the travelers always tell
Some gardens and some towers, I guess you know them well
But now the greatest
yell out your brains
I tell you right now, we got eight years of chains
[Hook]
So hurry up because I'm runnin' out of clip
Runnin' out of time
long time for you
In a broken down apartment house
Lay a woman dying
By her side a little six year old girl
Who was softly crying
Momma don't go
My mother came to Hazard when I was just seven
Even then the folks in town said with prejudiced eyes
That boy's not right
Three years ago when I
had no chance
Seven years, seven years
Your luck has passed
Seven years you never asked me out to dance
Asked me out to dance
(Dare me)
get
Curly worked the Dobro for seven long years
Always on the road not at home
He told Lilly one day before it all slips away
Let's take the kids out
closer
Throughout October
Oh, counting down, it's almost Christmas Eve
Oh, seven days shy of a New Year's Eve
Then we'll be celebrating
So get used
to say
I’m telling you goodbye
7 days, 7 nights
7 years that you’re by my side
1000 stars shine along our way
My love please stay
Hey girl, come on
This
Two thousand and seventy-three
Two thousand and eighty-four
Two thousand and ninety-three
Light years ahead
You and me gon' be gettin' down
Yellow PT Cruiser, yellow 'Lac on rims
Drop yellow 'Vette and a platinum Rolls Royce
That's seven different cars, everyday I got a choice
On my way
compassion for a heathen he damned
You awoke in a jail cell, alone and so lonely
Seven years in Michigan
They'll sue you if you burn that CDR
It doesn't matter if you're a grandma or a seven year old girl
They'll treat you like the evil, hard bitten criminal
In the arms of an angel, you saw me on the street
After 7 years of hurt and tears, it's now by chance we meet
In the arms of an angel, you took me
had a dreamI thought I was aloneAnd the veil of all the yearsFell from my eyes like a stone
From the ground the seven year childAnd a fire will come
the judge and the jury
Next morning, I had to appear
The judge, he says to me
"Young man, you're case it is proven clear
We'll give you seven years
Two thousand and seventy-three
Two thousand and eighty-four
Two thousand and ninety-three
Light years ahead
You and me gon' be gettin' down
place down the road
Kinda out in the sticks
But we can be back by six
And never leave our area code
Well geography wasn't her strong point
She'd
on tour
I express the raw dialect and explore
But don't get fooled by metaphor
Double oh seven is back
Rest assured
Feel secure
Rest assured
Jesus was a working manC DmAnd a hero you will hearC Dm AmBorn in the town of BethlehemDm GmAt the turning of the yearA7 DmAt the turning
Walk up the driveway endlessly curving
Go through the front door, it's so inviting
Baronial great hall once so exciting
Haunted by shadows faces
suddenly it matters
What was purchased in my name
Whether this or that was paid for
Belongs to me or you
Can the seven years together be divided by two
And I could find out what it's like to play
The games that daddies play
She quickly turned to hide the tears
From her son of seven years
He didn't
the judge and the jury
Next morning, I had to appear
The judge, he says to me
"Young man, you're case it is proven clear
We'll give you seven years
