Seven Year Blues

Well it's been seven long years since I first left this town
 The woman and the life I love so
 Seven long years in some hole in the ground
 In a cage I called my home
 Barb wire all around my home
 I got laid off one winter and I could not find work
 I passed a little weed on the side
 The authorities they rewarded me
 With seven years on the inside
 Seven years time I did buy
 Now my baby's married and she's got three kids
 Now ain't that a kick in the head
 She says she don't care if I die or I live
 But I feel like I'm already dead
 Yeah, feel like I'm already dead
 Well there's no one I know in this town anymore
 Because Ben never shook the effects of the war
 In a moment lost he put a hole in a cop
 But Ben don't live here anymore
 No, not in this world anymore
