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