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