Seven years old
[00:16.99] Once I was seven years old my momma told me
[00:21.50] Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[00:25.22] Once I was seven years old
[00:33.57] It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
[00:37.58] Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
[00:41.33] By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
[00:45.57] Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
[00:49.04] Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
[00:53.54] Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
[00:57.00] Once I was eleven years old
[01:05.53] I always had that dream like my daddy before me
[01:09.52] So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
[01:13.24] Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
[01:16.97] 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[01:20.96] Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
[01:25.58] Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
[01:28.86] Once I was twenty years old
[01:37.37] I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
[01:41.63] 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
[01:45.17] I got my boys with me at least those in favor
[01:49.26] And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
[01:52.99] Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
[01:57.50] I was writing about everything, I saw before me
[02:04.85] Once I was twenty years old
[02:09.04] Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
[02:13.57] We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
[02:16.85] Soon we'll be thirty years old
[02:25.64] I'm still learning about life
[02:27.23] My woman brought children for me
[02:29.10] So I can sing them all my songs
[02:31.50] And I can tell them stories
[02:33.09] Most of my boys are with me
[02:34.97] Some are still out seeking glory
[02:37.48] And some I had to leave behind
[02:39.60] My brother I'm still sorry
[02:40.94] Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
[02:45.74] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
[02:49.21] I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
[02:53.22] I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
[02:56.94] Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
[03:01.46] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
[03:04.94] Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:12.92] Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
[03:17.43] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
[03:20.93] Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:28.88] Once I was seven years old, momma told me
[03:33.67] Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[03:36.86] Once I was seven years old
[03:45.13] Once I was seven years old
