lyrics

Seven Mile Creek

Young man came to town, dead on his feet
Not for long when the lady said “Hey boy trick or treat?”
“Don’t know what you’re thinking but you got me intrigued”
She’s thinking “ I like your smile, I’d like to shake your knees”
“I’ll take you down to a mystery place,
We can dance the night away in open space
Moon can be the spotlight, trees our audience
That sandy bed is gonna feel our presence”

Chorus

They had a little treat in Seven Mile Creek
Nobody knowing their secret
They had a little treat in Seven Mile Creek
Nobody knowing their secret

Dancing in the moon shadows, kicking up the sand
His knees were shaking as she took him by the hand
He was tangled in a mystery, tangled up in time
Some time untangling his body and his mind

Chorus

Bridge

Years roll by and the man remembers
How one April it felt like December
On a single night with a mystery lady
Sometimes, somehow, wished he could a stayed there
A melody on replay, smile on his face
Singing I love that place, I love that place, I love that place and that open space
Singing I love that place, I love that place, I love that place and that open space

Old man left the town, shuffling his feet
Memory rewinding … “Hey boy trick or treat?”
On the Warrego Highway the man at “7 Mile”
Thinking about the lady dancing with his smile

Chorus

Singing I love that place …
