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