7 years

[00:17.03] Once, I was seven years old, my mama told me

[00:21.77] "Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely"

[00:25.03] Once, I was seven years old

[00:33.03] It was a big-big world, but we thought we were bigger

[00:37.53] Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker

[00:41.53] By 11, smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

[00:45.28] Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure

[00:49.28] Once, I was 11 years old, my daddy told me

[00:53.60] "Go get yourself a wife, or you'll be lonely"

[00:57.09] Once, I was 11 years old

[01:06.04] I always had that dream like my daddy before me

[01:09.27] So I started writing songs, I started writing stories

[01:13.52] Something about the glory just always seemed to bore me

[01:17.27] 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

[01:21.28] Once, I was 20 years old, my story got told

[01:26.30] Before the morning sun, when life was lonely

[01:29.29] Once, I was 20 years old

[01:32.28] (Lukas Graham!)

[01:37.28] I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure

[01:41.53] 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major

[01:45.28] I got my boys with me, at least those in favor

[01:49.54] And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

[01:53.28] Once, I was 20 years old, my story got told

[01:57.78] I was writing 'bout everything, I saw before me

[02:01.03] Once, I was 20 years old

[02:09.28] Soon, we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold

[02:14.03] We've traveled around the world, and we're still roaming

[02:17.03] Soon, we'll be 30 years old

[02:25.28] I'm still learning about life, my woman brought children for me

[02:29.53] So I can sing them all my songs, and I can tell them stories

[02:33.28] Most of my boys are with me, some are still out seeking glory

[02:37.28] And some I had to leave behind, my brother, I'm still sorry

[02:41.29] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61

[02:45.78] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one

[02:49.82] I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once

[02:53.06] I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month

[02:57.06] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?

[03:01.80] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?

[03:05.05] Soon, I'll be 60 years old

[03:13.31] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?

[03:17.80] Or will I have a lot of children who can hold me?

[03:21.05] Soon, I'll be 60 years old

[03:29.05] Once, I was seven years old, my mama told me

[03:33.80] "Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely"

[03:37.30] Once, I was seven years old

[03:45.30] Once, I was seven years old
