Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,
"Go make yourself 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 quickerBy eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figureOnce I was eleven years old, my daddy told me,
"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely."Once I was eleven years old
I always had that dream, like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs, I started writing storiesSomething about that glory just always seemed to bore me
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know meOnce I was twenty years old, my story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonelyOnce I was twenty years old
(Lukas Graham!)
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it majorI got my boys with me, at least those in favor
And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you laterOnce I was twenty years old, my story got told
I was writing about everything I saw before meOnce I was twenty years old
Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
We've traveled around the world and we're still roamingSoon we'll be thirty years old
I'm still learning about life
My woman brought children for meSo I can sing them all my songs
And I can tell them storiesMost of my boys are with me
Some are still out seeking gloryAnd some I had to leave behind
My brother, I'm still sorrySoon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
Remember life, and then your life becomes a better oneI made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a monthSoon 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, 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
Once I was seven years old, my mama told me,
"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely."Once I was seven years old
Once I was seven years old
