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