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