7 and 7

歌詞

Early in the morning I get up and leave your side I throw my bag on that chopper We take off and we fly Miles out into the Gulf of Mexico Right over that line where the brown water turns blue The guys out here joke about Jody And how he got my girl and gone But they don't know us Nah they don't know nothing about trust So 7-6-5-4-3-2-1 And the chopper touches down Throw my bag back in my truck And I'm your arms bound 7 days home 7 days gone I'm just thinking about you On this production platform Mark, our crane operator He had tears in his eyes today He just stood up on the heliport Kinda looking out at the waves He said he missed his baby girl He only got to see for a couple days I said we're almost home buddy Mama's got her And a smile went across his face 7 days home 7 days gone I'm just thinking about you On this production platform Well this oilfield career It's sure been good to my family They're the ones I think about When it comes time to leave One day I'll retire And my feet won't leave the land Until then I got to make a living I'm a Louisiana man 7 days home 7 days gone I'm just thinking about you On this production platform 7 days home 7 days gone
