Seven Year Ache

You act like you were just born tonight

Face down in a memory but feeling alright

So who does your past belong to today

Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way



Girls in the bars thinkin' who is this guy

But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies

You look so careless when they're shootin' that bull

Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full



Tell me you're tryin' to cure a seven year ache

See what else your old heart can take

The boys say when is he gonna give us some room

The girls say, God, I hope he comes back soon



Everybody's talkin' but you don't hear a thing

Still uptown on your downhill swing

Boulevard's empty why don't you come around

Baby what's so great about sleeping downtown



There's plenty of dives to be someone you're not

Just say you're looking for something you might have forgot

Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone

'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're tryin' to get home



Just tell 'em your tryin' to cure a seven year ache

See what else your old heart can take

The boys say when is he gonna give us some room

The girls say, God, I hope he comes back soon



Tell me you're tryin' to cure a seven year ache

See what else your old heart can take

The boys say when is he gonna give us some room

The girls say, God, I hope he comes back soon
