[Verse 1]
I'm goin' down to the police station
Just gonna turn myself in
For all the bad things I've been doin'
Maybe I won't do 'em again

[Chorus 1]
Seven old dogs in the backyard
Six cat gut strings on an old guitar
Three days straight I've been puttin'
Everything I own in a mason jar

[Verse 2]
I went down to the Mobile Depot
Wanted to see Mr. Garfield's train
All I saw was people cryin'
Creosote smoke and fallin' rain

[Chorus 2]
Seven last words to the faithful
Six shades of gray on a piece of wood
Three days straight I've been sinkin'
I ain't been doin' what I should

[Verse 3]
I went down to see the fortune teller
Was gonna get my future read
She looked at my hand, she said "It's bad"
She crossed her eyes and fell back dead
[Chorus 3]
Seven miles as the crow flies
Six blackbirds that fly somewhere
Three days straight I've been thirsty
It's gettin' to where I don't care

[Verse 4]
So I've been standin' in muddy water
Waitin' for the sun to shine
I ain't been doin' what I oughta
Crystal ball don't sympathize

[Chorus 4]
Seven times seven is forty-nine
Six times nine is fifty-four
Three days straight I've been thinkin'
Well I ain't gonna do that no more
