Seven Turns Lyrics


Seven Turns on the highway,
Seven rivers to cross.
Sometimes, you feel like you could fly away,
Sometimes, you get lost.

And sometimes, in the darkened night,
You see the crossroad sign.
One way is the mornin' light,
You got to make up your mind.

Somebody's callin' your name.
Somebody's waiting for you.
Love is all that remains the same,
That's what it's all comin' to.
Hey, yeah.

Runnin' wild out on the road,
Just like a leaf on the wind.
How in the world could you ever know,
We'd ever meet again?

Seven turns on the highway,
Seven rivers to cross.
Sometimes, you feel like you could fly away,
Sometimes, you get lost.

Somebody's callin' your name.
Somebody's waitin' for you.
Love is all that remains the same,
That's what it's all comin' to.

Somebody's callin' your name.
Somebody's waitin' for you.
Love is all that remains the same,
That's what it's all comin to.

Somebody's callin' your name.
Somebody's waitin' for you.
Somebody's callin' your name.
That's what it's all coming to.

Seven Turns Song Chart
  • The title refers to a Navajo belief that there are seven times in life that you must make a decision that determines your life path. Taking the wrong path means you must either backtrack or stay on the road to ruin.
  • Allman Brothers Band guitarist Dickey Betts wrote this after producer Tom Dowd asked him to write something similar to "Blue Sky," which he composed for the band's 1972 album Eat A Peach.
  • This was the title track to the Allman Brothers comeback album. They had not recorded together for nine years.
  • This was one of the few Allman Brothers songs where Betts sang lead.
  • Features Warren Haynes on slide guitar. His addition to the band on the Seven Turns album allowed them to play with two guitars, like they did before Duane Allman died in 1971.
