Donny Wright: Music

Seventh Heaven

Out on the prairie home on the range
A horse and rider’s all alone
His love he carries through the long hot day
‘til he brings it to the girl who waits at home
As knocks the dust from his old straw hat
On the porch at the end of the day
She shakes her apron loose
And can’t wait to hear him say

How’s my one true love
It’s been too too long
Gimme three big kisses
For I’m finally home
From five to five I ride
Now six days work is done
And I’m in Seventh Heaven here with you
My only one

Out on the ocean far out at sea
A sailor’s watching for a storm
His love is waiting a baby on her knee
And a candle in the window for safe home
As ship pulls in she searches a sea of faces for his wave
As he runs down the gangplank
She can’t wait to hear him say

How’s my one true love
It’s been too too long
Gimme three big kisses
For I’m finally home
From five to five the tide
Make six months work so long
And I’m in Seventh Heaven here with you
My only one

From sailors to cowboys and all inbetween
There’s a million lovers workin’ for their girl
And if their love is stronger than temptations unforeseen
They’ll find a way to make it in this world
But I think about the others
Who somehow lost their way
The countless lonely lovers
Who never got to say

Chorus
