Lyrics
0:18Once I was seven years old
0:21My mama told me
0:23Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
0:26Once I was seven years old
0:35It was a big big world
0:37But we thought we were bigger
0:39Pushing each other to the limits
0:41We were learning quicker
0:43By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
0:47Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
0:50Once I was eleven years old
0:53My daddy told me
0:55Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
0:58Once I was eleven years old
1:07I always had that dream
1:09Like my daddy before me
1:11So I started writing songs
1:13I started writing stories
1:15Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
1:19'Cause only those I truely love will ever really know me
1:23Once I was twenty years old
1:26My story got told
1:28Before the morning sun
1:29When life was lonely
1:31Once I was twenty years old
1:40I only see my goals
1:42I don't believe in failure
1:44'Cause I know the smallest voices they can make it major
1:48I got my boys with me
1:50At least those in favor
1:52And if we don't meet before I leave
1:54I hope I'll see you later
1:55Once I was twenty years old
1:58My story got told
2:00I was writing about everything I saw before me
2:04Once I was twenty years old
2:12Soon we'll be thirty years old
2:15Our songs have been sold
2:17We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
2:20Soon we'll be thirty years old
2:29I'm still learning about life
2:30My woman brought children for me
2:32So I can sing them all my songs
2:34And I can tell them stories
2:37Most of my boys are with me
2:38Some are still out seeking glory
2:41And some I had to leave behind
2:43My brother I'm still sorry
2:44Soon I'll be sixty years old
2:47My daddy got sixty-one
2:49Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
2:53I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
2:57I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month
3:01Soon I'll be sixty years old will I think the world is cold
3:05Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
3:09Soon I'll be sixty years old
3:17Soon I'll be sixty years old will I think the world is cold
3:21Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
3:25Soon I'll be sixty years old
3:33Once I was seven years old my mama told me
3:38Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
3:41Once I was seven years old
3:49Once I was seven 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 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 that glory just always seemed to bore me 'Cause only those I truely 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 At least those in favor And if we don't meet before I leave I hope I'll see you later Once I was twenty years old My story got told I was writing about everything I saw before me Once 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 roaming Soon we'll be thirty 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 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 my children come and visit once or twice a month 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 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
