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