7 Come 11

(album: The Valley - 2019)

I rolled into town
And I laid my money down
On a game that was made to lose
Everything I have
I can carry on my back
I don't want nothing I can't use

7 come 11, I will speak
7 come 11, you gon' see

Well now, once I had a sweet girl
Fair and young and fine
I was hers and she was mine
Well, she couldn't sing a note
But all along she wrote
"When will you be coming home?"

7 come 11, I will speak
7 come 11, you will see

So when I come around
Haul my body through this town
Keep my words in your mouth
I try to hold on to
To the love that I have found
Lay my poor head down

7 come 11, I will speak
7 come 11, you gon' see

So I drank up all her liquor
And I burned down all your trees
I swam across the blood-red sea
When the second angel came
From heaven it did rain
Like Revelation 16: 3

7 come 11, I will speak
7 come 11, you gon' see
7 come 11, I will speak
7 come 11, you gon' see
