Seven days, that's the time you gave
For me to straighten up, or you'd go away
But I can't go straight when my axle's bent
I veered off course again, and away you went
Seven days I tried to get you back
I tracked you down to your mama's shack
I said "I ain't gonna leave 'til you come back home"
Then the shotgun spoke, and it was time to go
I'm not crying; there's something in my eye
I'm gonna give you time to cool off, and then I'll give another try
But I'm not crying; there's something in my eye
Seven days and thirty beers and I'll be fine
Seven days is the time I lost
While I forgot you--at a heavy cost
Drinking whisky, I began to wail
A little altercation got me thrown in jail
And I'm not crying; there's something in my eye
I'm gonna give you time to cool down, then I'll give another try
But I'm not crying; there's something in my eye
Seven days and thirty beers and I'll be fine
