David I said as I lay on my bed 
another years gone bye 
your starting your parole 
in the morning they said 
please tell her I'm alright 

Seven more years if only if she can hold on 
seven more years and I'll be home again 
david you got to tell her that I miss her 
tell her I'll miss every day till then 
tell her it ain't so bad 
and say you're my friend 
say that I'm ok 
and tell her too wate for me 
and I'll be home again 
getting home again getting home again 

David I said as he started to go 
another years gone by

I'll miss you, you know 
but I'll make out alright 

Seven more years if only I can hold her 
seven more years and I'll be home again 
david you got to tell her that I miss her 
tell her I'll miss her every day till then 

But tell her it ant so bad 
please tell her my friend 
say that I'm ok 
and tell her to wate for me 
and I'll be home again 
getting home again getting home again 
getting home, getting home again 

Seven more years if only I can hold on 
seven more years and I'll be home again 
david you got to tell her that I miss her 

Tell her that I'll miss her every day till then 
I only got seven more years 
I only got seven more years 
I know I got only got seven more lousy years 
I only got seven more years 
I only got seven more lousy years
