7 Years

[00:19.83] Once I was seven years old, my mama told me

[00:24.35] "Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely"

[00:27.81] Once, I was seven years old

[00:36.04] It was a big, big world, but we thought we were bigger

[00:40.28] Pushin' each other to the limits, we were learnin' quicker

[00:44.55] By 11, smokin' herb and drinkin', burnin' liquor

[00:48.26] Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure

[00:51.98] Once I was 11 years old, my daddy told me

[00:56.22] "Go get yourself a wife, or you'll be lonely"

[00:59.68] Once, I was 11 years old

[01:08.20] I always had that dream like my daddy before me

[01:12.19] So I started writin' songs, I started writin' stories

[01:16.17] Somethin' about that glory just always seemed to bore me

[01:20.18] 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

[01:23.90] Once I was 20 years old, my story got told

[01:28.68] Before the mornin' sun, when life was lonely

[01:31.87] Once, I was 20 years old

[01:35.32] (Lukas Graham!)

[01:40.12] I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure

[01:44.36] 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major

[01:48.33] I got my boys with me, at least those in favor

[01:52.32] And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

[01:55.78] Once I was 20 years old, my story got told

[02:00.29] I was writin' 'bout everything I saw before me

[02:03.74] Once, I was 20 years old

[02:11.72] Soon, we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold

[02:16.23] We've traveled around the world, and we're still roamin'

[02:19.69] Soon, we'll be 30 years old

[02:28.18] I'm still learnin' about life, my woman brought children for me

[02:32.17] So I can sing them all my songs, and I can tell them stories

[02:36.16] Most of my boys are with me, some are still out seeking glory

[02:40.14] And some I had to leave behind, my brother, I'm still sorry

[02:43.60] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61

[02:48.12] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one

[02:52.11] I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once

[02:56.11] I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month

[02:59.56] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?

[03:04.06] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?

[03:07.52] Soon, I'll be 60 years old

[03:15.77] Soon, I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold?

[03:20.02] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me?

[03:23.75] Soon, I'll be 60 years old

[03:31.73] Once I was seven years old, my mama told me

[03:36.24] "Go make yourself some friends, or you'll be lonely"

[03:39.70] Once, I was seven years old

[03:47.96] Once, I was seven years old
