i'm a little heavy west bound and down
i got a zero in the bank on my account
and it's been a week since she's been home that's seven days of on my own
that's my number baby gonna lay my money down
my destination is dependin' on a right turn
and bright field of green
and i'm rollin' down the highway
passin' on the hardway burnin' gasoline
chorus:
i'm seein' signs up ahead in lights
vegas city limit line
tonight i'm gonna let it ride away
and i'm puttin' down everything i own
on the mercy of these bones
come on man, gob bless these seven days
well i sold my chevy for a couple hundred bucks
and i'm bettin' it all and i'm countin' on lady luck
me and destiny have made a deal
and you can't shake these nerves of steal
so come on fate let's see where we end up
my temptation's already left me with a hand
that i can't even see
but i'm gonna play'em i'm gonna hold'em
like a box car i keep rollin'
these cards ain't got nothin' on me
chorus:
i'm seein' signs up ahead in lights
vegas city limit line
tonight i'm gonna let it ride away
and i'm puttin' down everything i own
on the mercy of these bones
come on man, gob bless these seven days
well i'm gonna turn this table into a one man show
and i'm stackin' up my life to play on just one roll
well seven's my best friend in town
and yes ma'am i'll have another round
but kiss these for daddy before i let'em go... c'mon...
chorus:
i'm seein' signs up ahead in lights
vegas city limit line
tonight i'm gonna let it ride away
and i'm puttin' down everything i own
on the mercy of these bones
come on man, gob bless these seven days
i'm puttin' down everthing i own
on the mercy of these bones
come on man, god bless these seven days
