VERSE

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

VERSE

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

Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker

By 11, smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure

VERSE

Once I was 11 years old, my daddy told me

Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely

Once I was 11 years old

VERSE

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

VERSE

Once I was 20 years old my story got told

Before the morning sun when life was lonely

Once I was 20 years old (Lukas Graham!)

VERSE

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'll see you later

VERSE

Once I was 20 years old, my story got told

I was writing 'bout everything I saw before me

Once I was 20 years old

VERSE

Soon we'll be 30 years old

Our songs have been sold

We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming

Soon we'll be 30 years old

VERSE

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

VERSE

Soon I'll be 60 years old

My daddy got 61

Remember life and then your life becomes a better one I made the man so happy

when

I wrote a letter once

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

Soon I'll be 60 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 60 years old

VERSE

Soon I'll be 60 years old

Will I think the world is cold

Or will I have a lot of children who can hold me

Soon I'll be 60 years old

VERSE

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

How would you rate this song?
