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