[00:16.88] Once I was seven years old my mama told me

[00:21.89] Go make yourself some friends or you’ll be lonely

[00:24.88] Once I was seven years old

[00:33.13] It was a big, big world but we thought we were bigger

[00:37.39] Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker

[00:41.39] By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

[00:45.39] Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

[00:48.88] Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me,

[00:53.64] Go get yourself a wife or you’ll be lonely

[00:56.88] Once I was eleven years old

[01:05.13] I always had that dream like my daddy before me

[01:09.13] So I started writing songs, I started writing stories

[01:13.63] Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me

[01:17.14] ‘Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

[01:20.88] Once I was twenty years old my story got told

[01:25.89] Before the morning sun when life was lonely

[01:28.88] Once I was twenty years old

[01:37.38] I only see my goals I don’t believe in failure

[01:41.38] ‘Cause I know the smallest voices they can make it major

[01:45.64] I got my boys with me, at least those in favor

[01:49.39] And if we don’t meet before I leave I hope I’ll see you later

[01:52.88] Once I was twenty years old my story got told

[01:57.63] I was writing ‘bout everything I saw before me

[02:00.89] Once I was twenty years old

[02:08.88] Soon we’ll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold

[02:13.39] We’ve traveled around the world and we’re still roaming

[02:16.89] Soon we’ll be thirty years old

[02:25.13] I’m still learning about life, my woman brought children for me

[02:29.13] So I can sing them all my songs and I can tell them stories

[02:33.13] Most of my boys are with me, some are still out seeking glory

[02:37.13] And some I had to leave behind, my brother I’m still sorry

[02:40.89] Soon I’ll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one

[02:45.38] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one

[02:49.13] I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once

[02:53.13] I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month

[02:56.88] Soon I’ll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold

[03:01.38] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me

[03:04.89] Soon I’ll be sixty years old

[03:12.88] Soon I’ll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold

[03:17.13] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me

[03:20.88] Soon I’ll be sixty years old

[03:28.89] Once I was seven years old my mama told me

[03:33.88] Go make yourself some friends or you’ll be lonely

[03:36.89] Once I was seven years old
