[Intro]
[Chorus 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 1]
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
[Chorus 2]
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 2]
I always have 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 really love
will ever really know me
[Chorus 3]
Once I was twenty years old,
my story got told,
before the morning sun, when life was lonely.
Once I was twenty years old
[Chorus 5]
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 5]
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
[Chorus 7]
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
[Chorus 7]
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
