Once I was seven years old
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely"
Once I was seven years old
my mama told me
 
we were learning quicker
but we thought we were bigger
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Pushing each other to the limits
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
It was a big big world
 
Once I was eleven years old
Once I was eleven years old
my daddy told me
"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely"
 
just always seemed to bore me
'Cause only those I really love
I always had that dream
like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs
Something about that glory
will ever really know me
I started writing stories
 
Once I was twenty years old
Once I was twenty years old
my story got told
Before the morning sun
when life was lonely
(Lukas Graham!)
 
And if we don't meet before I leave
'Cause I know the smallest voices
at least those in favor
I don't believe in failure
I hope I'll see you later
I got my boys with me
they can make it major
I only see my goals
 
I was writing about everything I saw before me
Once I was twenty years old
my story got told
Once I was twenty years old
 
and we're still roaming
our songs have been sold
Soon we'll be thirty years old
Soon we'll be thirty years old
We've traveled around the world
 
Some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind my brother, I'm still sorry
I'm still learning about life
So I can sing them all my songs and I can tell them stories
My woman brought children for me
Most of my boys are with me
 
my daddy got sixty-one
and visit once or twice a month
I made a man so happy
Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one
I hope my children come
when I wrote a letter once
Soon I'll be sixty years old
 
Soon I'll be sixty years old
will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
Soon I'll be sixty years old
 
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
will I think the world is cold
Soon I'll be sixty years old
Soon I'll be sixty years old
 
"Go make yourself some friends
Once I was seven years old
Once I was seven years old
my mama told me
or you'll be lonely"
Once I was seven years old
