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