According to him, 7 & 7 is a song about those who see their ex-lover with someone else and having a good time without them in their lives. What makes the song even more enticing to many people is that the lyrics are made up of a thousand various events and scenarios that go through someone’s thoughts. Making listeners live in someone’s shoes, even not for real. 

Musically, the song is flawlessly performed, sung, and produced, but the lyrics’ downhome lyrical sensibility is what truly grabs the listener’s attention—making it one of the most perfectly written songs out there.

Each lyric has a deep meaning behind it, giving the song some touch of artistry and making it one of the best outlaw songs out there. Every other phrase in the song should be interpreted as if this line was the root from which everything sprang.
