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