Items
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
 
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
but we thought we were bigger
we were learning quicker
 
"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely"
my daddy told me
Once I was eleven years old
Once I was eleven years old
 
just always seemed to bore me
will ever really know me
I always had that dream
'Cause only those I really love
So I started writing songs
I started writing stories
Something about that glory
like my daddy before me
 
Before the morning sun
(Lukas Graham!)
Once I was twenty years old
Once I was twenty years old
when life was lonely
my story got told
 
I got my boys with me
'Cause I know the smallest voices
they can make it major
I only see my goals
And if we don't meet before I leave
I don't believe in failure
at least those in favor
I hope I'll see you later
 
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
 
Soon we'll be thirty years old
our songs have been sold
Soon we'll be thirty years old
We've traveled around the world
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
I'm still learning about life
Some are still out seeking glory
 
I hope my children come
and visit once or twice a month
Soon I'll be sixty years old
when I wrote a letter once
I made a man so happy
Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one
my daddy got sixty-one
 
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
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
will I think the world is cold
 
"Go make yourself some friends
Once I was seven years old
Once I was seven years old
or you'll be lonely"
Once I was seven years old
my mama told me
