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
|
|
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 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 meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
|
|
Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
|
I was writing about everything, I saw before me
|
Once I was 20 years old
|
|
Soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold
|
We've traveled around the world and we're still rolling
|
Soon we'll 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 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
|
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
|
|
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
