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