Written in 1969 by Steve Young, an American country musician. He sang it first and years later it was "covered" by the Eagles. There is a real seven bridges road in or near Montgomery, Alabama, and that is what the song is about. For men or women. Wrtten on three staves because verious lines are different, so a lot easier to read without all the conflicting rhythms on one staff. Very clever, if I do say so myself. And of course, I do.
