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