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