“Seven Great Years” — a modern country song about a 20–year marriage with seven truly great years in the middle of all the chaos. Kids, money struggles, mistakes, near-tragedy, and the long road back to loving each other harder than before. A hopeful, honest look at staying together when it isn’t easy.

LYRICS

[Verse 1]
We stood there in the chapel light,
Two kids with open hearts.
My mama cried, your daddy smiled,
We swore we’d never part.

[Pre-Chorus]
Then the baby came so fast,
And it wouldn't be our last.

[Chorus]
Seven great years in a twenty-year run,
Plenty of storms and a few days of sun.
We’ve had seasons that nearly broke me,
Nights I wondered who we’d come to be.
But seven great years still shine so pretty…
Even if we’ve been married for twenty.

[Verse 2]
The second child arrived and we
Were stretched like worn-out twine.
We fought too much, slept too little,
Lost track of yours and mine.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Money thin, our patience worn,
The life we lived bent and torn.

[Chorus]
Seven great years in a long, hard climb,
Took a few wrong turns, wasted lots of time.
We both hurt each other badly,
Loved each other just as madly.
Yeah, seven great years—still kind of pretty…
Even if we’ve been married for twenty.

[Bridge]
There were secrets we both carried,
Lines we crossed we shouldn’t have crossed.
Your drinking made me shut down,
My distance made you feel lost.
Some nights we held on out of duty,
Others by sheer grit and grace—
Lucky the truth didn’t tear us apart,
Lucky we stayed in the same place.

[Verse 3]
Then seven years ago we just stared
At monitors and cares.
One child sick, the world turned still—
We learned what truly scares.

[Pre-Chorus 3]
We knew what we almost lost, 
Felt the weight of every cost.

[Final Chorus]
Seven great years became something more—
Grateful hearts sweeping out the floor.
You held me close, I held on tighter,
Every dark room somehow grew brighter.
Now every one shines warm and steady…
Funny how twenty years can turn out so pretty.
