Seven hours from the one I love
Seven hours from the one I love
And I"¦ won't "“ even "“ begin to cross "“ A single state line, before I get there
The pan is wide and the handle's long
The task is this and the road is all
And I'll"¦ have to fill "“ fill it up "“ three times at the Emoco before I get there
Seven hours from the one I love Seven hours from the one I love
The ruby red's came in sweet this year
I love the - rougey, supple way they hang there
And my life "“ it takes "“ A shift "“ A wide and decided turn"¦ from here
Seven hours from the one I love Seven hours from the one I love
You gotta go North to get South of here
That's what the city folk say down here
And he's "“ waiting "“ at the end"¦of a sandy forked road "“ for me, to get there
Seven hours from the one I love Seven hours from the one I love
Seven hours from the one I love Seven hours from the one I love
