Seven Years Songtext
von Mr. Deadly

I drug my chain
And swung my hammer
Seven years in the Mississippi sun
So damn hot make the devil break a sweat
Got you praying all day for the night to come

After seven long years it was clear
That twenty-five won′t do
I did the convict shuffle every day
Til the day that we dropped our hammers on you-know-who

We were prayin for the night to come
Prayin for the night to come

We broke our chains
Ran like hell
Headed west, Louisiana on our minds
Eddie and Ray got surrounded in a house
At the Sharkey-Issaquena county line

We were praying for the night to come


Wrong place at the wrong time
Caught me in a desperate state of mind
Hard luck or a hard line
But that's life
No one gets out alive

The devil here beside me
Law is chewing at our heels
The past is creeping up
Our future′s yet to be revealed
Ain't no justice waiting for me
Ain't no truth they′d wanna believe

The devil here beside me
Law is chewing at our heels
My mind is racing
Sweat is pouring
Hand is clutching steel
The devil here beside me
Law is chewing at our heels
The bayou try to kill you
But you give it hell and zeal


I drug my chain
And swung my hammer
Seven years in the Mississippi sun
So damn hot make the devil break a sweat
Got you praying all day for the night to come
Praying for the night to come
Praying for the night to come
Praying for the night to come
