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
 
but we thought we were bigger
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
It was a big big world
Pushing each other to the limits
we were learning quicker
 
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
 
'Cause only those I really love
Something about that glory
So I started writing songs
I always had that dream
will ever really know me
like my daddy before me
just always seemed to bore me
I started writing stories
 
when life was lonely
my story got told
(Lukas Graham!)
Before the morning sun
Once I was twenty years old
Once I was twenty years old
 
'Cause I know the smallest voices
I only see my goals
I got my boys with me
they can make it major
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
 
Once I was twenty years old
Once I was twenty years old
I was writing about everything I saw before me
my story got told
 
our songs have been sold
Soon we'll be thirty years old
and we're still roaming
We've traveled around the world
Soon we'll be thirty years old
 
I'm still learning about life
So I can sing them all my songs and I can tell them stories
My woman brought children for me
Most of my boys are with me
And some I had to leave behind my brother, I'm still sorry
Some are still out seeking glory
 
and visit once or twice a month
I made a man so happy
I hope my children come
when I wrote a letter once
Soon I'll be sixty years old
my daddy got sixty-one
Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one
 
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
will I think the world is cold
 
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
my mama told me
or you'll be lonely"
Once I was seven years old
Once I was seven years old
Once I was seven years old
