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