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"
 
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
Pushing each other to the limits
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
 
Once I was eleven years old
Once I was eleven years old
"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely"
my daddy told me
 
will ever really know me
So I started writing songs
I started writing stories
just always seemed to bore me
'Cause only those I really love
I always had that dream
Something about that glory
like my daddy before me
 
my story got told
when life was lonely
Once I was twenty years old
Once I was twenty years old
Before the morning sun
(Lukas Graham!)
 
I hope I'll see you later
I got my boys with me
I don't believe in failure
at least those in favor
they can make it major
I only see my goals
'Cause I know the smallest voices
And if we don't meet before I leave
 
I was writing about everything I saw before me
my story got told
Once I was twenty years old
Once I was twenty years old
 
and we're still roaming
our songs have been sold
Soon we'll be thirty years old
We've traveled around the world
Soon we'll be thirty years old
 
Most of my boys are with 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
Some are still out seeking glory
My woman brought children for me
I'm still learning about life
 
Soon I'll be sixty years old
Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one
I hope my children come
when I wrote a letter once
my daddy got sixty-one
and visit once or twice a month
I made a man so happy
 
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
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
 
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
