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 quicker
By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

Once 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 stories. Something about the glory, just always seemed to bore me Cause only those 

I really love will ever really know me. Once I was twenty years old, my story got told

Before the morning sun, when life was lonely. Once I was twenty 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 atleast those in favor And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later.
