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