Turnpike Troubadours - 7 & 7 lyrics
[Turnpike Troubadours - 7 & 7 lyrics]
Back when you, oh, when you were my darlin'
I i didn't mind to lose a little sleep, I
I didn't mind to do a little walkin'
My reputation never meant that much to me
And how do I find that old familiar feeling?
The one that carried me so many years ago
When fun was dominos and
Seven-Up and Seagram's
Well, things were simple then
Just movin' nice and slow ain't it strange?
Well, ain't it strange?
Well, I had no clue I'd be the boy who
Your mama warned you about
Well, I had no clue I'd be the boy who
Your mama warned you about
Well, that old scene is always coming to me
I i see you standing with your
Husband and your child
And you're a picture of strength
And grace and beauty and me
I'm just a fool in a supermarket aisle
Well I, well
I know "Hello" would surely end up awkward
I never had the knack for talkin' anyway
And you're not the kind
For bendin' over backwards
Smile and turn my shopping cart
Around and walk away and ain't it strange?
Well, ain't it strange?
Well, I had no clue I'd be the boy who
Your mama warned you about
Well, I had no clue I'd be the boy who
Your mama warned you about
Well, ain't it strange how well I knew
You back when I was seventeen?
And loving you was easy, babe
But I was just a child
And these days you ain't nothin'
Just an interstate daydream
Folks were sleepin' and we were runnin' wild
And I still do my share
Of sleepin' on the floor
I'm not sure if anybody knows me anymore
Well, I had no clue I'd be the boy who
Your mama warned you about
Well, I had no clue I'd be the boy who
Your mama warned you about
I i didn't mind to lose a little sleep, I
I didn't mind to do a little walkin'
My reputation never meant that much to me
And how do I find that old familiar feeling?
The one that carried me so many years ago
When fun was dominos and
Seven-Up and Seagram's
Well, things were simple then
Just movin' nice and slow ain't it strange?
Well, ain't it strange?
Well, I had no clue I'd be the boy who
Your mama warned you about
Well, I had no clue I'd be the boy who
Your mama warned you about
Well, that old scene is always coming to me
I i see you standing with your
Husband and your child
And you're a picture of strength
And grace and beauty and me
