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