7 years
[00:16.65] Once, I was seven years old, my mama told me
[00:21.18] "Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely"
[00:24.35] Once, I was seven years old
[00:32.86] It was a big-big world, but we thought we were bigger
[00:36.85] Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
[00:40.83] By 11, smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
[00:44.81] Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure
[00:48.53] Once, I was 11 years old, my daddy told me
[00:53.05] "Go get yourself a wife, or you'll be lonely"
[00:56.50] Once, I was 11 years old
[01:04.73] I always had that dream like my daddy before me
[01:08.98] So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
[01:12.70] Something about the glory just always seemed to bore me
[01:16.95] 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[01:20.41] Once, I was 20 years old, my story got told
[01:25.40] Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
[01:28.55] Once, I was 20 years old
[01:32.01] (Lukas Graham!)
[01:36.78] I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
[01:40.77] 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
[01:44.75] I got my boys with me, at least those in favor
[01:48.73] And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
[01:52.45] Once, I was 20 years old, my story got told
[01:57.23] I was writing 'bout everything, I saw before me
[02:00.43] Once, I was 20 years old
[02:08.40] Soon, we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold
[02:12.92] We've traveled around the world, and we're still roaming
[02:16.63] Soon, we'll be 30 years old
[02:24.87] I'm still learning about life, my woman brought children for me
[02:28.86] So I can sing them all my songs, and I can tell them stories
[02:32.84] Most of my boys are with me, some are still out seeking glory
[02:36.81] And some I had to leave behind, my brother, I'm still sorry
[02:40.80] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
[02:45.04] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
[02:48.78] I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once
[02:52.76] I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
[02:56.48] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?
[03:00.96] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
[03:04.45] Soon, I'll be 60 years old
[03:12.35] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?
[03:17.13] Or will I have a lot of children who can hold me?
[03:20.59] Soon, I'll be 60 years old
[03:28.56] Once, I was seven years old, my mama told me
[03:32.81] "Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely"
[03:36.52] Once, I was seven years old
[03:44.74] Once, I was seven years old
