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