Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Once I was seven years old

My momma told me go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely

Once I was seven years old

[Verse 2]

It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger

Pushing each other to the limits we we're learning quicker

By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

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 boar me

'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

[Verse 5]

Once I was twenty years old

My story got told, before the morning sun when life was lonely

Once I was was twenty years old

[Verse 6]

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 meet before I leave I hope I see you later

[Verse 7]

Once I was twenty years old

My story got told, I was writing down everything I saw before me

Once I was twenty years old

[Verse 8]

Soon we'll be thirty years old

Our songs have been sold

We traveled around the world and we're still roaming

Soon we'll be thirty years old

[Verse 9]

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 are hard to leave behind my brother I'm still sorry

[Verse 10]

Soon I'll be sixty years old

My daddy got sixty-one

Remember life and then your life becomes a better one

I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once

I hope our children come and visit once or twice a month

[Verse 11]

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

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

[Verse 12]

Once I was seven years old

My momma told me go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely

Once I was seven years old

Once I was seven years old
