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