7 years
[00:20.77] Once I was seven years old
[00:23.26] my momma told me
[00:25.51] Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[00:28.76] Once I was seven years old
[00:37.02] It was a big big world,
[00:39.25] but we thought we were bigger
[00:40.77] Pushing each other to the limits,
[00:43.01] we were learning quicker
[00:45.25] By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
[00:49.26] Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
[00:53.01] Once I was eleven years old
[00:55.27] my daddy told me
[00:57.51] Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
[01:00.76] Once I was eleven years old
[01:09.25] I always had that dream
[01:11.26] like my daddy before me
[01:13.26] So I started writing songs,
[01:15.00] I started writing stories
[01:17.00] Something about that glory
[01:19.01] just always seemed to bore me
[01:21.25] 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[01:24.75] Once I was twenty years old,
[01:27.27] my story got told
[01:30.00] Before the morning sun,
[01:31.25] when life was lonely
[01:32.74] Once I was twenty years old
[01:41.25] I only see my goals,
[01:43.25] I don't believe in failure
[01:45.25] 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
[01:48.75] I got my boys with me
[01:50.74] at least those in favor
[01:53.25] And if we don't meet before I leave,
[01:55.26] I hope I'll see you later
[01:57.00] Once I was twenty years old,
[01:59.26] my story got told
[02:01.50] I was writing about everything, I saw before me
[02:04.24] Once I was twenty years old
[02:13.00] Soon we'll be thirty years old,
[02:15.50] our songs have been sold
[02:17.75] We've traveled around the world
[02:19.50] and we're still roaming
[02:21.25] Soon we'll be thirty years old
[02:29.24] I'm still learning about life
[02:31.50] My woman brought children for me
[02:33.25] So I can sing them all my songs
[02:35.24] And I can tell them stories
[02:37.24] Most of my boys are with me
[02:39.24] Some are still out seeking glory
[02:41.25] And some I had to leave behind
[02:43.50] My brother I'm still sorry
[02:45.25] Soon I'll be sixty years old,
[02:47.74] my daddy got sixty-one
[02:49.25] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
[02:53.24] I made a man so happy
[02:54.99] when I wrote a letter once
[02:57.23] I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
[03:00.99] Soon I'll be sixty years old,
[03:03.76] will I think the world is cold
[03:05.50] Or will I have a lot of children
[03:08.24] who can warm me
[03:08.99] Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:17.24] Soon I'll be sixty years old,
[03:19.49] will I think the world is cold
[03:21.49] Or will I have a lot of children
[03:23.48] who can warm me
[03:24.99] Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:32.97] Once I was seven years old,
[03:35.73] momma told me
[03:37.73] Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[03:41.23] Once I was seven years old
[03:48.98] Once I was seven years old
