Seven Years Heavy

[Intro]
[Verse]
Chipped paint like a map
Rust on the iron lap
Seven winters in the cold
Buying back what he sold
Grease under every nail
I never let the engine fail
Sweat dripped on the dash
Saving up every bit of cash
[Pre-Chorus]
Hammond humming in the air
Like a Sunday morning prayer
Feet heavy on the floor
I don't owe 'em anymore
I don't owe 'em anymore
[Chorus]
Oh, she’s mine today
Watch the shadows fade away
Seven years of heavy dues
Worn the rubber off my shoes
Hear that V8 start to cry
To the heavens in the sky
Yeah, she's mine today
[Post-Chorus]
Paid in full
Feel the pull
Paid in full
Broken every rule
[Verse]
He said "Hold the light steady"
"Make sure the spark is ready"
Faded verse behind the sun
Now the race is finally run
Knuckle scars and silver dimes
Thinking 'bout the older times
He taught me how to fix
All the engine's dirty tricks
[Pre-Chorus]
Hammond humming in the air
Like a Sunday morning prayer
Feet heavy on the floor
I don't owe 'em anymore
I don't owe 'em anymore
[Chorus]
Oh, she’s mine today
Watch the shadows fade away
Seven years of heavy dues
Worn the rubber off my shoes
Hear that V8 start to cry
To the heavens in the sky
Yeah, she's mine today
[Bridge]
Mrs. Miller’s on the porch
Holding up a victory torch
Neighbors coming to the gate
No more living on the wait
Trombones blowing in the street
Victory tastes so damn sweet
Can you hear the brass?
Moving off the dying grass
[Hook]
It’s a brand new day
Throw the bill away
It’s a brand new day
Nothing left to say
[Chorus]
Oh, she’s mine today
Watch the shadows fade away
Seven years of heavy dues
Worn the rubber off my shoes
Hear that V8 start to cry
To the heavens in the sky
Yeah, she's mine today
[Post-Chorus]
Paid in full
Feel the pull
Paid in full
Broken every rule
[Outro]
