[00:15.00] Once I was seven years old my momma told me

[00:20.00] Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely

[00:22.00] Once I was seven years old

[00:28.00] It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger

[00:31.00] Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker

[00:34.00] By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

[00:37.00] Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

[00:40.00] Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me

[00:44.00] Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely

[00:46.00] Once I was eleven years old

[00:52.00] I always had that dream like my daddy before me

[00:56.00] So I started writing songs, I started writing stories

[00:59.00] Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me

[01:02.00] 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

[01:05.00] Once I was twenty years old, my story got told

[01:08.00] Before the morning sun, when life was lonely

[01:11.00] Once I was twenty years old

[01:16.00] I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure

[01:20.00] 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major

[01:24.00] I got my boys with me at least those in favor

[01:26.00] And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

[01:30.00] Once I was twenty years old, my story got told

[01:33.00] I was writing about everything, I saw before me

[01:35.00] Once I was twenty years old

[01:41.00] Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold

[01:45.00] We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming

[01:48.00] Soon we'll be thirty years old

[01:54.00] I'm still learning about life

[01:55.00] My woman brought children for me

[01:57.00] So I can sing them all my songs

[01:58.00] And I can tell them stories

[02:00.00] Most of my boys are with me

[02:02.00] Some are still out seeking glory

[02:04.00] And some I had to leave behind, my brother I'm still sorry

[02:06.00] Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one

[02:10.00] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one

[02:13.00] I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once

[02:15.00] I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month

[02:18.00] Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold

[02:22.00] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me

[02:25.00] Soon I'll be sixty years old

[02:30.00] Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold

[02:35.00] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me

[02:37.00] Soon I'll be sixty years old

[02:43.00] Once I was seven years old, momma told me

[02:47.00] Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely

[02:49.00] Once I was seven years old

[02:54.00] Once I was seven years old
