The Devil Makes Three - "Old Number 7"

This song is amazing. Alcohol is always that old friend that you know is bad to hang around, but every time you meet, he greets you with a warm hug and a smile. But stay too long and he'll ruin your life.

Rest In Peace to my little brother Jacob McFarland. We will share a glass of old no.7 again one day.

“I can’t go a week without doing wrong” man… that one hits home

I guess I grew up on an old dirt road Pedal to the metal always did what I was told 'Till I found out that my brand new clothes Came second hand from the rich kids next door When I grew up fast I guess I grew up mean There's a thousand things inside my head I wish I ain't seen And now I just wander through a real bad dream Feelin' like I'm coming apart at the seams Thank you Jack Daniel's Old Number Seven Tennessee Whiskey got me drinking in heaven Angels start to look good to me They're gonna have to deport me to the fiery deep Thank you Jack Daniel's Old Number Seven Tennessee Whiskey got me drinking in heaven I know I can't stay here too long 'Cause I can't go a week without doin' wrong Without doin' wrong Without doin' wrong Without doin' wrong (Drinkin' in heaven) So I'm sitting as the bar stool it starts to grow roots Feelin' like an old worn out pair of shoes Tell me what is it that I should do When I'm swimming in the liquor only half way through So I'm watching as his wings spread as wide as could be Come on now and wrap them around me 'Cause all I want to do now is fall to sleep Come down here and lay next to me Thank you Jack Daniel's Old Number Seven Tennessee Whiskey got me drinking in heaven Up here the bottle never runs dry And you never wake up with those tears in your eyes Thank you Jack Daniel's Old Number Seven Tennessee Whiskey got me drinking in heaven Angels start to look good to me They're gonna have to deport me To the fiery deep (Old Number Seven) To the fiery deep (Drinkin' in heaven) To the fiery deep (Old Number Seven) To the fiery deep (Drinkin' in heaven)

7 years later still a banger

This is just brilliance. For once, YT's little algorithms got it right -- you can thank them for leading me to your awesomeness.

Been listening to this song and album for over 10 years. Got the whole 1st album memorized word for word. This song never gets old. Still a masterpiece and relevant to this very day. Cheers!

Its amazing how songs bring back memories. I used to work in a casino back in 2012. It was a miserable job. I worked in one of the camera monitor rooms. I spent about 6 hours a day, staring at coworkers trying to find something to get them in trouble. I hated doing that, but I had another camera room that watched me, to make sure I was doing my job (I got written up a few times). I REALLY needed the money, so I stayed until I could find a better job (I did thankfully). Every day after work, I would sit in my car and stare at the lights on the nearby interstate, listening to this song, and feeling absolutely hollow as a human being. Its so weird. That was such a miserable time in my life, but listening to this song now feels so pleasantly nostalgic.

Every once in awhile youtube suggests something worthwhile.

"....up here the bottle never runs dry and you never wake up with those tears in your eyes, oh..."

The first time I heard this, I literally spit my drink. It's literally my childhood in a song and it's terrifying how accurate it is

I like the angel of death being a comfort and all the undertones from this song. The writer is drinking to find peace, and he just wants "sleep" he's begging, courting death through the bottle and he's stubborn in his attempts

My late brother introduced me to this song. he died a year later from OD . RIP brother . we all have our demons

I have a drinking problem, I ran out of Jack Daniels.

This is the purest poetry I’ve heard in a while!!!!

I wish I still had contact with my sis.... I tucking miss her so much, it's been at least 7 years, but every time I listen to songs like this I can't help but to be thankful she showed me music like this, especially all of the songs these kats play. This was the first song she ever showed me..

I can hear this song 30 times in a row. Its epic

One of the most underrated modern funky Bluegrass styled tunes ever!

The nerve this song hits in me makes me cry and relive the wrong I've done it makes me feel so pure
