once i was seven years old
my mamma told me
go make you're self some friends or you'll be lonely
once i was seven years old
it was a big big world
but we thought we were bigger
pushing each other to the limits
we were learning quicker
by eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
never rich so were out to make that steady figure
once i was 11 years old
my daddy told me
go get you're self a wife or you'll be lonely
once i was 11 years old
i always had that dream
like my daddy before me
so i started writing songs
i started writing stories
something about that glory
just always seemed to always bore me
cause only those i really love will ever really know me
once i was 20 years old
my story got told
before the morning sun when life was lonely
once i was 20 years old
i only see my goals
i don't believe in failure
cause i know the smallest voices they can make it major
i got my boys with me
at least those in favor
and if we don't see before i leave i hope i see you later
once i was 20 years old
my story go told
i was writing about everything i saw before me
once i was 20 years old
soon ill be 30 years old
our songs have been sold
we've traveled around the world we're still rolling
soon ill be 30 years old
i'm still learning about life
my woman brought children for me
so i can sing them all my songs
and i can tell them stories
most of my boys are with me
some are still out seeking glory
and some i had to leave behind
my brother i'm still sorry
soon ill be 60 years old
my daddy got 61
remember life and then you're life become a better one
i made a man so happy when i wrote a letter once
i hope my children come and visit once or twice a month
soon ill be 60 years old
will i think the world is cold
or will i have a lot of children who can warm me
son ill be 60 years old
will i think the world is cold
or will i have a lot of children who can warm me
soon ill be 60 year
once i was 7 years old
my mamma told me
go make you're self some friends or you'll be lonely
once i was 7 years old
once i was 7 years old
