7 years

[00:14.50] Once,I was seven years old, my mama told me

[00:17.50] "Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely"

[00:21.40] Once, I was seven years old

[00:28.50] It was a big-big world, but we thought we were bigger

[00:32.20] Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker

[00:35.10] By 11, smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

[00:39.10] Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure

[00:42.10] Once, I was 11 years old, my daddy told me

[00:46.50] "Go get yourself a wife, or you'll be lonely"

[00:49.10] Once, I was 11 years old

[00:57.10] I always had that dream like my daddy before me

[01:00.20] So I started writing songs, I started writing stories

[01:03.60] Something about the glory just always seemed to bore me

[01:06.50] 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

[01:09.60] Once, I was 20 years old, my story got told

[01:14.00] Before the morning sun, when life was lonely

[01:17.50] Once, I was 20 years old (Lukas Graham!)

[01:23.90] I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure

[01:27.90] 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major

[01:30.90] I got my boys with me, at least those in favor

[01:34.90] And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

[01:37.90] Once, I was 20 years old, my story got told

[01:41.90] I was writing 'bout everything, I saw before me

[01:45.90] Once, I was 20 years old

[01:51.50] Soon, we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold

[01:55.00] We've traveled around the world, and we're still roaming

[01:58.90] Soon, we'll be 30 years old

[02:06.01] I'm still learning about life, my woman brought children for me

[02:09.00] So I can sing them all my songs, and I can tell them stories

[02:12.80] Most of my boys are with me, some are still out seeking glory

[02:15.90] And some I had to leave behind, my brother, I'm still sorry

[02:19.90] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61

[02:23.30] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one

[02:26.90] I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once

[02:30.90] I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month

[02:33.90] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?

[02:38.50] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?

[02:40.90] Soon, I'll be 60 years old

[02:47.50] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?

[02:50.90] Or will I have a lot of children who can hold me?

[02:54.00] Soon, I'll be 60 years old

[03:01.10] Once, I was seven years old, my mama told me

[03:05.90] "Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely"

[03:07.90] Once, I was seven years old

[03:15.00] Once, I was seven years old
