7 & 7

Back when you, oh, when you were my darlin', I

I didn't mind to lose a little sleep, I

I didn't mind to do a little walkin'

My reputation never meant that much to me

And how do I find that old familiar feeling?

The one that carried me so many years ago

When fun was dominos and Seven-Up and Seagram's

Well, things were simple then, just movin' nice and slow

Ain't it strange?

Well, ain't it strange?

Well, I had no clue I'd be the boy who

Your mama warned you about

Well, I had no clue I'd be the boy who

Your mama warned you about

Well, that old scene is always coming to me, I

I see you standing with your husband and your child

And you're a picture of strength and grace and beauty

And me, I'm just a fool in a supermarket aisle

Well I, well, I know "Hello" would surely end up awkward

I never had the knack for talkin' anyway

And you're not the kind for bendin' over backwards

Smile and turn my shopping cart around and walk away

And ain't it strange?

Well, ain't it strange?

Well, I had no clue I'd be the boy who

Your mama warned you about

Well, I had no clue I'd be the boy who

Your mama warned you about

Well, ain't it strange how well I knew you back when I was seventeen?

And loving you was easy, babe, but I was just a child

And these days you ain't nothin', just an interstate daydream

Folks were sleepin' and we were runnin' wild

And I still do my share of sleepin' on the floor

I'm not sure if anybody knows me anymore

Well, I had no clue I'd be the boy who

Your mama warned you about

Well, I had no clue I'd be the boy who

Your mama warned you about
