7 years
[00:19.92] Once I was seven years old, my mama told me
[00:24.64] "Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely"
[00:27.63] Once I was seven years old
[00:36.40] It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
[00:40.18] Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
[00:44.38] By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
[00:48.38] Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
[00:52.13] Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me
[00:56.63] "Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely"
[01:00.12] Once I was eleven years old
[01:08.40] I always had that dream, like my daddy before me
[01:12.38] So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
[01:16.62] Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
[01:20.37] 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[01:23.91] Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
[01:28.91] Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
[01:31.88] Once I was twenty years old
[01:35.63] (Lukas Graham!)
[01:40.37] I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
[01:44.63] 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
[01:48.37] I got my boys with me, at least those in favor
[01:52.14] And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
[01:56.20] Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
[02:00.90] I was writing 'bout everything I saw before me
[02:03.91] Once I was twenty years old
[02:12.14] Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
[02:16.62] We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
[02:19.90] Soon we'll be thirty years old
[02:28.65] I'm still learning about life
[02:30.17] My woman brought children for me
[02:32.41] So I can sing them all my songs
[02:34.17] And I can tell them stories
[02:36.39] Most of my boys are with me
[02:37.91] Some are still out seeking glory
[02:40.39] And some I had to leave behind
[02:42.45] My brother, I'm still sorry
[02:44.12] Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
[02:48.44] Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one
[02:51.88] I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
[02:56.14] I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month
[02:59.87] Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
[03:04.38] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
[03:07.88] Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:15.93] Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
[03:20.40] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?
[03:24.12] Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:32.12] Once I was seven years old, my mama told me
[03:36.43] "Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely"
[03:40.12] Once I was seven years old
[03:48.12] Once I was seven years old
