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