[Verse 1] At Rusty Mesa where the sky burns rust Old steel bones drink dust And the wind’s unjust Neon from the Oily Hole Bleeds through the night Cyborgs and drifters Settle bets by its light The dust kicks up On a plain gone gray Where the sun forgot How to light the day Outlaws of metal and flesh collide Rolling triple sevens Where the brave abide [Pre-Chorus] The bar’s a carcass Rivets and wire Drinks served cold In a cup of fire The dealer’s an arm With too many seams Shuffling cards From forgotten dreams [Chorus] Triple sevens Triple sevens Roll, roll, roll Triple sevens Triple sevens Stand up, stand tall If you hear it echo You best stand tall Triple sevens At the end of it all [Verse 2] They say when the dice Clatter down on seven The mesa shakes Like a crack in heaven Three of them spinning A lucky ghost call On the red dirt floor Where the law won’t crawl So ride on in If you’ve got the nerve Rusty Mesa don’t Let you swerve At the edge of the world Where the chrome and dust meet Every bet you make Tastes like desert heat [Pre-Chorus] The dealer looks up With a hollow grin One dead eye glow And a rusted tin chin The cards flash white Then they burn to gold And the whole damn room Gets brave and cold [Chorus] Triple sevens Triple sevens Roll, roll, roll Triple sevens Triple sevens Stand up, stand tall If you hear it echo You best stand tall Triple sevens At the end of it all [Bridge] [Breakdown] Take your chance Take your name On this mesa Luck’s a flame One more turn One more cry If you lose it here You don’t ask why [Final Chorus] Triple sevens Triple sevens Roll, roll, roll Triple sevens Triple sevens Stand up, stand tall If you hear it echo You best stand tall Triple sevens At the end of it all
