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