[00:19.71] Once I was seven years old my momma told me
[00:24.32] Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[00:27.87] Once I was seven years old
[00:35.90] It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
[00:40.45] Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
[00:44.33] By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
[00:48.31] Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
[00:52.36] Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
[00:56.22] Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
[01:00.01] Once I was eleven years old
[01:08.46] I always had that dream like my daddy before me
[01:11.98] So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
[01:16.29] Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
[01:20.16] 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[01:24.23] Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
[01:28.62] Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
[01:32.18] Once I was twenty years old
[01:40.25] I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
[01:44.35] 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
[01:48.22] I got my boys with me at least those in favor
[01:52.41] And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
[01:56.31] Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
[02:00.35] I was writing about everything, I saw before me
[02:03.66] Once I was twenty years old
[02:11.83] Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
[02:16.39] We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
[02:19.88] Soon we'll be thirty years old
[02:27.39] I'm still learning about life
[02:30.14] My woman brought children for me
[02:32.14] So I can sing them all my songs
[02:34.39] And I can tell them stories
[02:36.14] Most of my boys are with me
[02:37.89] Some are still out seeking glory
[02:39.89] And some I had to leave behind
[02:42.39] My brother I'm still sorry
[02:43.99] Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
[02:48.24] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
[02:51.73] I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
[02:56.24] I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
[02:59.99] Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
[03:04.24] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
[03:07.87] Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:15.37] Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
[03:20.37] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
[03:23.79] Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:31.71] Once I was seven years old, momma told me
[03:36.21] Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[03:39.96] Once I was seven years old
[03:47.96] Once I was seven years old
