Billy Strings - Must Be Seven Lyrics






Dirty broken dishes
Cigarette burns on the floor
She held a look of disbelief
And wandered through the door
To have a seat and meet the parents of the child
That was heading the wrong way
And it's probably seven years
Since she turned around and hit the road that day

Paper tearing off the walls
A rotten, moldy sink
Well, he wandered to the cupboard
Just to fix himself a drink
Like there wasn't something wrong
Like he couldn't see the sorrow in the soul
And it must be seven years
Since he tipped his hat and told 'em all "So long"

Well, she was so distracted
By the color of the room
She never thought that she would see
Her little flower bloom
And take the cards that he was dealt
Into the house the big, bad wolf could not blow down
And it must be seven years now
Since they turned their lives around

She said, "Stay on track
Don't let me see you lookin' back
Never mind what's left behind and don't look back
Don't look back"

Well the house shrunk in the rearview
They left it far behind
It faded out of sight
Back to the shadows of her mind
Like the shards of shattered mirrors
Broken pieces scattered o'er the burial ground
And it must be seven years now
Since they got out of that town

She said, "Stay on track
Don't let me see you lookin' back
Never mind what's left behind and don't look back
Don't look back"

Billy Strings Must Be Seven Comments
  1. A.... P....

    sold out to satan

  2. d.... p....

    To me it tells a story of a person who was in a bad place with bad drugs and bad environment.but then left that old life behind for a better life full of happiness and magic mushrooms lol kinda like trading the needle for a shroom .and the transformation that brings out

  3. A.... W....

    What a beautiful song. I just recently discovered Billy and I am gonna do my best to share his music with anyone and everyone I possibly can. I hope this man gets the recognition he deserves

  4. W.... ....

    Three songs come to my mind I’d love to see him cover, wayfaring stranger, Mountain Dew, and rank strangers I think he would make a great sounding cover if those!

  5. J.... B....

    So I first heard this song Sunday January 19th, 2020.
    It’s now Thursday January 23rd, 2020.
    I now know every word and this is my favorite song.
    I’m telling everybody.
    So far I’ve started every day and ended every night with it.

    I don’t know what it is I just get a high from it.

    An inspiration, if you will.

    Hopefully we can get some dialogue going and get you to do a show over here in Oklahoma.

  6. B.... P....

    God dam Illuminati 👁️ even taking over bluegrass...

  7. g.... ....

    That was just absolutely awesome

  8. E.... H....

    Does this remind anyone of Demons by Greensky???

  9. s.... ....

    Guy is a monster Keep it up

  10. J.... ....

    Could you make a trip up to Michigan? I could put you on I think

  11. M.... T....

    Love this song!

  12. D.... A....

    The lyrics of this are beautiful. They flow so well and convey an interesting story. Keep up the work.

  13. o.... d....

    This is trippy.Sorta triggered though.

  14. C.... R....

    Cant beleive not comments in a month.
    I was eyeing the show in New Orleans at the end of the January.
    Watched tickets go from $25 to $200 in a week.
    Missed out

  15. J.... B....

    This needs more attention 👍 Fantastic

    J.... B....

    I've been sharing as fast as I can

  16. D.... Y....

    Anyone know who that actress is?

    D.... Y....

    David Yuhasz no relation to Billy himself. I put this video together and they are just a couple of friends of mine who fit the script of the story.

  17. C.... 6....

    Far out. Trippy and lush..superb.

  18. M.... H....

    It's a dystopian Bikini Bottom.

  19. S.... C....

    You're just wonderful, kid.

  20. j.... b....

    Thought the Beatles were bad for flashing masonic symbolism till I watched this.

    j.... b....

    @Jesse W ....Secret societies are at the heart of everything that's wrong in the world today and that's why I comment when I see it being flaunted. You may be living in la la land and that's your choice but dont suggest to me that I "chill out " when I know the shit that goes down through this. Tip; listen to the speech JFK delivered on the subject matter not long before he was murdered , maybe that'll take you out of your chill.

    j.... b....

    What's it like being the 2nd best Jesse in this comment

    j.... b....

    @Jesse W ....you talk some utter shit !

    j.... b....

    @jesse bongo PHFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.

    j.... b....

    @jesse bongo You talk utter stupid shit.

    The moral of the story? Shrooms: Hell yeah.

  26. R.... ....

    This dude fucks

  27. P.... F....

    Algorithm suggested Dust in a Baggie for god only knows what reason. 5 minutes later, LP purchased. Great, original music still exists, but you have to look harder! When you find it, support it! Purchase - don’t stream. Or purchase, then stream, whatever. Put more money in the artist’s pocket!

  28. B.... A....

    Bro! That guy driving the truck randomly followed me on insta years back. Crazy shit. Random asf to see him in this video.

  29. C.... C....

    Can you come out to texas? I would come to a show send your music to 95.9 the ranch they are a great station please your music would be a hit in the texas red dirt genre. A stand alone!

  30. j.... d....

  40. S.... S....

    Play this great song next to My Town by Montgomery Gentry, another great song, and see where you stand on staying vrs. leaving town. That song has a church. This song has a woman.
    Magnificent video. Takes me back to the days of Sargeant Pepper. Worthy of the Beatles at their very best.

  67. M.... J....

    I don't see why Billy Strings has not had way more publicity(?) Found this by mistake and love it!! Sounds way better than what people are calling "COUNTRY" nowadays. Most don't have a banjo or Steele guitar kountrier than kornbread. ❤👍💪

  78. K.... ....

  79. j.... D....

    So this is what happens when you do acid in a Kentucky trailer park at night

    j.... D....

    james Doctor not exactly, it’s a little more screwed up!!!😂😂😂

    j.... D....

    I'm from a trailer park in Kentucky hold up haha

  80. D.... G....

    Incredible! The picking, the lyrics, the video perfect.

  81. B.... A....

    YouTube algorithms brought me to dust in a baggie. Which brought me to here. Subscribed at 12.6k so I am here before everyone else lol

    B.... A....

    Thats what brought me here too, thank God. It changed my whoole outlook on bluegrass music. Now my favorite band. I'm saving a playlist, getting out my big Bluetooth speaker, and jamming to Billy Strings. I was really having a hard time listening to anything anymore. Fastball, Oasis, and whoever else, move aside I'm done with ya.

    B.... A....

    Same here best thing about You Tube keep it coming!

    B.... A....

    iv seen them 9 times now!

    B.... A....

    Exactly how I got here. I love it.

    B.... A....

    35.5k now.

  82. c.... m....

    You have come a long way from groove tongue. I remember you playing in my garage for a Halloween party. Hope all is well brother

  83. j.... m....

    Best guitarist sence Hendrix people

    j.... m....

    I hear SRV

    j.... m....

    Eh I like some bluegrass but Tosin Abasi is the best guitarist since Jimi Hendrix I'd say. Yet there honestly might be some better than him tons of greats in djent nowadays.

  84. j.... m....

    And then lsd intro love this i have songs for you to use 2405271600

  85. E.... P....

    Smashing pumpkins had a video like this I think.

  86. D.... P....

    Get out of that bad town yall!!

  87. P.... J....

    Love all the Fly Agaric....!

  88. w.... ....

    Finally some real country music was wondering if it would ever come back

  89. E.... M....

    Anyone know who the driver is?

    E.... M....

    I do, his nickname is Dumptruck (not a joke)

    E.... M....

    Who's the lady, just found out the cat was Molly, Thxs for the info, gb

    E.... M....

    @Glen Baker she's a mutual friend just along for the ride :)

    E.... M....

    @thomma49829 Thxs, I just found these guys about a month ago and I love finding out about them, I know one thing though, if they keep on track like they are they can go anywhere they want, I'm over 60,and I love ther sound and the subject of the songs,, Thxs again for the info,gb

  90. C.... M....

    Where's the credit for the video production?

    C.... M....

    Colin May it’s there in the description. Concept/Creation: Kevin Thomma

    C.... M....

    Not very clear that that applies to the video as opposed to the music or anything else, but if that's the industry standard, cool.

  91. T.... I....

    Admire Billys guitar, voice and song writing BUT why do the overt drug references. Thats not what young people and society in general need right now. When will talented musicians understand that its not cool but destructive. Leaning into people with the power of influence. Taking them down a dark road to death and destruction. I know. I been there.

    T.... I....

    There id nothing in this song promoting drug use,the song is about cleaning up your life.listen to the words,and it's part of are world ignoring the problem won't make it go away.

    T.... I....

    Magic mushrooms are not a dark road to death and destruction

    T.... I....

    The mushrooms are Amanita, Fly Agarics, not really what folks take to trip. Additionally this scene's drugs - Marijuana, psilocin and LSD, are rather innocuous anyhow.

    T.... I....

    Yes they are. Having the parasite of cannabis addiction in my life for 25 years, sucking drive and ambition.
    Mushrooms take you into the spirit realms and be careful what you let into your spirit life.
    Drugs are personality altering and become escapes. True spiritually and a stable life does not include drugs. Time tested by people who have survived and gone on to raise awareness about it and become happy and prosperous away from drugs/alcohol.

    T.... I....

    Pocono Jeff I thought that was cubensis at the end but on further inspection it is not

  92. P.... B....

    Thanks Man! It cures any depression that I have. Thank you. Keep playing my friend!!!

  93. R.... ....

    Now those are my kinda trees! :)

  94. G.... B....

    Would like to know the meaning of the 33 ,Anyone?thxs

    G.... B....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgkUy7zTbvY&t=745s

    G.... B....

    @mbsnyderc Thxs, really like this kids music but also seems like he really cares about were he came from,thxs again,gb

  95. G.... B....

    Very nice,

  96. j.... g....

    Never mind what's left behind. Dont look back.

  97. S.... A....

    Silly Billy

  98. k.... b....

    I fucking love this man. I'm so happy music videos are back. Kid you are a genius man. Your guitar playing is so amazing no one really looks at what your songwriting is......which is monumental and brilliant
