Lyrics of
Seven Bridges Road

Seven Bridges Road was written by Steve Young and first recorded in 1969. The songs harmony and structure were inspired by the seven wooden bridges that spanned the creek along Seven Bridges Road near Montgomery, Alabama, where Young lived during his youth. The song became famous in the Eagles a capella version.

There are stars
In the southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight
And moss in the trees

Down the Seven Bridges Road

Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild
Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn from here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars

Down the Seven Bridges Road
