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