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
we were learning quicker
It was a big big world
but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
 
my daddy told me
Once I was eleven years old
Once I was eleven years old
"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely"
 
will ever really know me
So I started writing songs
I always had that dream
I started writing stories
Something about that glory
just always seemed to bore me
like my daddy before me
'Cause only those I really love
 
Once I was twenty years old
(Lukas Graham!)
Once I was twenty years old
Before the morning sun
when life was lonely
my story got told
 
'Cause I know the smallest voices
I hope I'll see you later
And if we don't meet before I leave
I only see my goals
I got my boys with me
at least those in favor
I don't believe in failure
they can make it major
 
I was writing about everything I saw before me
my story got told
Once I was twenty years old
Once I was twenty years old
 
We've traveled around the world
Soon we'll be thirty years old
our songs have been sold
and we're still roaming
Soon we'll be thirty years old
 
So I can sing them all my songs and I can tell them stories
Some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind my brother, I'm still sorry
Most of my boys are with me
My woman brought children for me
I'm still learning about life
 
I made a man so happy
I hope my children come
Soon I'll be sixty years old
and visit once or twice a month
Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one
my daddy got sixty-one
when I wrote a letter once
 
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
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
 
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"
