Seven Year Blues - Beat Farmers

Well it’s been seven long years since I first left this town

The woman and the life I love so

Seven long years in some hole in the ground

In a cage I called my home

Barb wire all around my home

I got laid off one winter and I could not find work

I passed a little weed on the side

The authorities, they rewarded me

With seven years on the inside

Seven years time I did by

Now my baby’s married and she’s got three kids

Now ain’t that a kick in the head

She says she don’t care if I die or I live

But I feel like I’m already dead

Yeah, feel like I’m already dead

Well there’s no one I know in this town anymore

Because Ben never shook the effects of the war

In a moment lost he put a hole in a cop

But Ben don’t live here anymore

I’m not in this world anymore
