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