7 Years

[00:20.35] Once, I was seven years old, my mama told me

[00:25.95] "Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely"

[00:28.88] Once, I was seven years old

[00:36.87] It was a big-big world, but we thought we were bigger

[00:41.63] Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker

[00:45.63] By 11, smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

[00:49.07] Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure

[00:52.80] Once, I was 11 years old, my daddy told me

[00:58.11] "Go get yourself a wife, or you'll be lonely"

[01:00.76] Once, I was 11 years old

[01:09.03] I always had that dream like my daddy before me

[01:13.28] So I started writing songs, I started writing stories

[01:17.55] Something about the glory just always seemed to bore me

[01:21.28] 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

[01:24.99] Once, I was 20 years old, my story got told

[01:30.03] Before the morning sun, when life was lonely

[01:32.69] Once, I was 20 years old

[01:38.27] (Lukas Graham!)

[01:41.46] I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure

[01:45.44] 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major

[01:48.63] I got my boys with me, at least those in favor

[01:53.14] And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

[01:56.85] Once, I was 20 years old, my story got told

[02:01.90] I was writing 'bout everything, I saw before me

[02:04.83] Once, I was 20 years old

[02:12.80] Soon, we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold

[02:18.11] We've traveled around the world, and we're still roaming

[02:21.03] Soon, we'll be 30 years old

[02:29.53] I'm still learning about life, my woman brought children for me

[02:33.25] So I can sing them all my songs, and I can tell them stories

[02:37.24] Most of my boys are with me, some are still out seeking glory

[02:40.96] And some I had to leave behind, my brother, I'm still sorry

[02:44.94] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61

[02:49.99] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one

[02:52.90] I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once

[02:57.41] I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month

[03:00.88] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?

[03:05.92] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?

[03:08.84] Soon, I'll be 60 years old

[03:17.34] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?

[03:21.59] Or will I have a lot of children who can hold me?

[03:25.05] Soon, I'll be 60 years old

[03:33.28] Once, I was seven years old, my mama told me

[03:38.06] "Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely"

[03:41.26] Once, I was seven years old

[03:49.21] Once, I was seven years old
