Seven Weeks In County

I've got seven weeks in county, boys, but I don't blame the man

I've won and lost some poker chips, but I won't blame the hand

It's been seven years of famine, but I never blamed the land

Just give me peace and quiet, boss, I'll take it where I can

Give me peace and quiet, boss, I'll take it where I can

My only enemy is out to get me

To make me pay for what I've done

He's out to catch me, and he's on the trail to find me

Sure as hell he'll whip me when he does

Yeah, sure as hell he'll whip me when he does

There's a hunger in my belly and a pounding in my head

Buzzards turn impatiently, expecting I'll be dead

Desert sun is burning high above, my shadow can't find shade

I got seven weeks in county to lay in that bed I made

Seven weeks in county to lay in that bed I made

My only enemy is out to get me

To make me pay for what I've done

He's out to catch me, and he's on the trail to find me

Sure as hell he'll whip me when he does

Sure as hell he'll whip me when he does

Each day, I see his evil eyes, the man who put me here

See him when I shave my face, so guilty in the mirror

Looking back, disgusted with a hollow hateful stare

For seven weeks in county and for always, everywhere

Seven weeks in county and for always, everywhere

My worst enemy's out to get me

To make me pay for what I've done

Out to catch me, and he's on the trail to find me

Sure as hell he'll whip me when he does

Sure as hell he'll whip me when he does
