Lyrics

Seven Years
Abbie Gardner 2004

Seven years
since I last saw you
You?re two thousand miles away
Where I left you on that day
seven years

Seven years
I lived in boxcars
I hardly saw the sun
I?ve been on the run
for seven years

CHORUS:
I ran away in fear and confusion
But now that little girl is long gone
I traded in my wedding ring for a shiny 38
Ain?t had much to do for seven years
But practice my aim

I?ve come back, for restitution
You will pay for what you done
From here to kingdom come
In a shallow grave

I?m no angel, I?ve lost my virtue
Your sins will drag me down
No redemption will be found
and I?ll live in chains

CHORUS

BRIDGE (instrumental)

CHORUS

Ain?t it shiny?
Ain?t it shiny?
Ain?t it shiny?
Ain?t it shiny?
