Turnpike Troubadours - 7 & 7 [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Back when you, well when you were my darling I
I didn’t mind to lose a little sleeping
I didn’t mind to do a little walking
Reputation never meant that much to me

How do I find, that old familiar feeling?
The one that carried me so many years ago
Fun was dominos and seven up and Seagram’s
Thing were simple then just movin nice and slow

[Pre Chorus]
Ain’t it strange?
Well, ain’t it strange?

[Chorus]
Well I had no clue
I’d be the boy who your
Momma warned you about
Well I had no clue
I’d be the boy who your
Momma warned you about

[Verse 2]
Well, that old scene is always coming to me I
I see you standin with your husband and your child
And you’re a picture of strength, grace and beauty
And me I’m just a fool in a super market aisle well I

I know hello would surely end up awkward
I never had the knack for talking any way
You’re not the kind for bending over backwards
Smile and turn my shopping cart around and walk away

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Well ain’t it strange how well I knew you back when I was 17
Loving you was easy baby but I was just a child
And these days you ain't nothing just an interstate daydream
Folks were sleeping and we were runnin wild

And I still do my share of sleeping on the floor
Not sure if anybody knows me anymore

[Chorus]
