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
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
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
sold out to satan
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
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
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!
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.
God dam Illuminati 👁️ even taking over bluegrass...
That was just absolutely awesome
Does this remind anyone of Demons by Greensky???
Guy is a monster Keep it up
Could you make a trip up to Michigan? I could put you on I think
Love this song!
The lyrics of this are beautiful. They flow so well and convey an interesting story. Keep up the work.
This is trippy.Sorta triggered though.
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
This needs more attention 👍 Fantastic
I've been sharing as fast as I can
Anyone know who that actress is?
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.
Far out. Trippy and lush..superb.
It's a dystopian Bikini Bottom.
You're just wonderful, kid.
Thought the Beatles were bad for flashing masonic symbolism till I watched this.
@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.
What's it like being the 2nd best Jesse in this comment
@Jesse W ....you talk some utter shit !
@jesse bongo PHFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
@jesse bongo You talk utter stupid shit.
Billy: just sending you love bro! Thanks for sharing your gift of music!
God i love this dude
Keeping some of us going, thank you🙌✌
Keep doing what you’re doing bro we see you and soon enough everyone will...please don’t get discouraged and whatever you do please don’t give up. I want to see you make it so bad!!
The moral of the story? Shrooms: Hell yeah.
This dude fucks
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!
Bro! That guy driving the truck randomly followed me on insta years back. Crazy shit. Random asf to see him in this video.
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!
fineass song .. i liked to listen, but not look. (distracting vid.) but who cares?
your songwriting gets better and better, Billy!!
You know I'm not really a fan of bluegrass. Well actually scratch that. I wasn't really a fan of bluegrass.
fuck 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Sounds similar to demons by greensky bluegrass. Still amazing! Billy is an amazing songwriter
Please try to play music with Tyler Childers, Read Southall, Koe Wetzel please y’all would make gold🤙🤙
Sounds like Travis tritt. The world needs more Billy strings!!!!!
This guy is amazing!!! YouTube recommendations blessed me with this one. Pure talent.
Awesomeness
Totally Awesome!!!!!😎
Should i watch this on acid or meth?
LOL jk haven't done meth in years
PWNDbycircumstances?? I guess acid it is lol
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.
fucking great song, brotha, you rock.
Bout time youtube has a good suggestion
Bout time you tube has a good suggestion
20 long years for some dust in a baggie 😅😂😂

🍄🤩😋
Your publisher is shit you should be rolling in it
Nickel Creek?
AHHH No.
What's with the 33 tattoo on his arm. Everything in this world is tainted, this place is disgusting. Archons
It was the number on his grandfathers race car and it's on his grandfathers guitar that billy had restored recently.
Good song, terrible video.
Billy Strings turned into a legend ...thanks YouTube algorithms
I don’t listen to this kind of music. Until now, now I do.

He graduated from narcs to psychedelics hahaha. Love it
Tbh, this is a cybertruck ad.
Love it
Ol' Bill.... I use to be able to buy a whole table for 60 bucks, now I cant even buy a seat for that. Kudos man. I'm happy that all your hard work is paying off. I was lucky enough to see you before the algorithms sent you into the ether. Thankful for those times. Keep on pick'n and a grinn'n!
Watched NOLA sell from$25 to $200.
I'll watch here and good fer Billy Boy
Feels like a acid flash back wait maybe I am having one
Love from California. Great music great message.
You are very talented.
Have I been under a rock or what?
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. ❤👍💪
Dust in a baggie brought me to this absolute mast of guitar & storytelling 🎸
Damn man. Got yourself a new fan
Randomly came accross your music today. Im very disappointed i didnt find this sooner but so glad i found it today.
Nice Modest Mouse feel with the music video, on top of the actual country sound...
Thank you algorithms ❣️
By far, thee BEST new album/artist to randomly find in soooo long. New fan for sure, Billy boy!
Nathan Lawson discovered him about a year ago. Enjoy, it just keeps getting better
SOOOOOOOOO GOOD. Come to Australia 🙏 play blues fest in Byron.
This is the only country channel I have ever subscribed to. Can’t wait too se what is next .
Shrooms baby yeeeeeehawweewwe
Where’s the dust in a baggie video?!
Its Grand old Opry feed
https://youtu.be/VFEZOjtrwls here.
This is great man
14.4k subs. That's an awful haircut and bad music video. Buuuut dust in a baggie was great
So this is what happens when you do acid in a Kentucky trailer park at night
james Doctor not exactly, it’s a little more screwed up!!!😂😂😂
I'm from a trailer park in Kentucky hold up haha
Incredible! The picking, the lyrics, the video perfect.
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
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.
Same here best thing about You Tube keep it coming!
iv seen them 9 times now!
Exactly how I got here. I love it.
35.5k now.
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
Best guitarist sence Hendrix people
I hear SRV
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.
And then lsd intro love this i have songs for you to use 2405271600
Smashing pumpkins had a video like this I think.
Get out of that bad town yall!!
Love all the Fly Agaric....!
Finally some real country music was wondering if it would ever come back
Anyone know who the driver is?
I do, his nickname is Dumptruck (not a joke)
Who's the lady, just found out the cat was Molly, Thxs for the info, gb
@Glen Baker she's a mutual friend just along for the ride :)
@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
Where's the credit for the video production?
Colin May it’s there in the description. Concept/Creation: Kevin Thomma
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.
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.
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.
Magic mushrooms are not a dark road to death and destruction
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.
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.
Pocono Jeff I thought that was cubensis at the end but on further inspection it is not
Thanks Man! It cures any depression that I have. Thank you. Keep playing my friend!!!
Now those are my kinda trees! :)
Would like to know the meaning of the 33 ,Anyone?thxs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgkUy7zTbvY&t=745s
@mbsnyderc Thxs, really like this kids music but also seems like he really cares about were he came from,thxs again,gb
Very nice,
Never mind what's left behind. Dont look back.
Silly Billy
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
