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