7 years old
[00:20.84] Once I was seven years old my momma told me
[00:25.35] Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[00:28.84] Once I was seven years old
[00:36.88] It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
[00:41.35] Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
[00:45.34] By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
[00:49.34] Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
[00:52.84] Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
[00:55.36] Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
[01:00.84] Once I was eleven years old
[01:09.36] I always had that dream like my daddy before me
[01:13.59] So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
[01:17.34] Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
[01:21.36] 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[01:24.84] Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
[01:29.35] Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
[01:32.84] Once I was twenty years old
[01:41.34] I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
[01:45.34] 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
[01:49.59] I got my boys with me at least those in favor
[01:53.34] And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
[01:56.84] Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
[02:01.60] I was writing about everything, I saw before me
[02:04.85] Once I was twenty years old
[02:12.84] Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
[02:17.34] We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
[02:21.09] Soon we'll be thirty years old
[02:28.85] I'm still learning about life
[02:31.34] My woman brought children for me
[02:33.35] So I can sing them all my songs
[02:35.09] And I can tell them stories
[02:37.34] Most of my boys are with me
[02:38.84] Some are still out seeking glory
[02:41.34] And some I had to leave behind
[02:43.34] My brother I'm still sorry
[02:45.09] Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
[02:49.34] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
[02:53.10] I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
[02:57.10] I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
[03:00.84] Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
[03:05.59] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
[03:09.09] Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:17.08] Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
[03:21.09] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
[03:25.09] Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:33.09] Once I was seven years old, momma told me
[03:37.59] Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[03:41.10] Once I was seven years old
[03:49.08] Once I was seven years old
