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