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