Seven Days

(album: The House Rules - 2010)

I'm a little heavy
Waste bounding down...
Got a zero in the bank
On my account.
It's been a week since she's been home
That's seven days of on my own
That's my number baby,
Gonna lay my money down.

My destination is depending on the right turn
The right field of dreams.
Well I'm rolling down the highway
Passing on the hard way
Burning gasoline...

I'm seeing signs up ahead in lights,
Vegas city limit lines.
Tonight I'm gonna let it ride away.
Well, I'm putting down everything I own
On the mercy of these bones.
Come on man, God bless these seven days!

Yeah well I sold my Chevy for a couple hundred bucks
I'm betting it all
And I'm counting on Lady Luck.
Me and destiny have made a deal,
You can't shake these nerves of steel.
So come on, fate, let's see where we end up.

My temptation's already left me with a hand,
I can't even see
But I'm gonna play 'em, I'm gonna hold 'em.
Like a box-car keep rolling,
These cards ain't got nothing on me!

I'm seeing signs up ahead in lights,
Vegas city limit lines.
Tonight I'm gonna let it ride away.
Well, I'm putting down everything I own
On the mercy of these bones.
Come on man, God bless these seven days!

Yeah well I'm gonna turn this table
Into a one man show
And I'm stacking up my life
To play on just one roll.
Well seven's my best friend in town
And yes, ma'am, I'll have another round
But kiss these dice before I let 'em go!

I'm seeing signs up ahead in lights,
Vegas city limit lines.
Tonight I'm gonna let it ride away.
Well, I'm putting down everything I own
On the mercy of these bones.
Come on man, God bless these seven days!

I'm putting down everything I own,
On the mercy of these bones
Come on man, God bless these seven days!

Oh God bless these seven days.
