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