7 years old
[00:21.06] Once I was seven years old my momma told me
[00:24.56] Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[00:29.06] Once I was seven years old
[00:37.31] It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
[00:41.32] Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
[00:45.33] By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
[00:49.13] Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
[00:53.05] Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
[00:58.02] Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
[01:01.03] Once I was eleven years old
[01:09.56] I always had that dream like my daddy before me
[01:13.33] So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
[01:17.28] Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
[01:21.28] 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[01:25.03] Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
[01:29.53] Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
[01:33.02] Once I was twenty years old
[01:41.04] I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
[01:45.54] 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major
[01:49.53] I got my boys with me at least those in favor
[01:53.28] And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later
[01:57.02] Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
[02:02.06] I was writing about everything, I saw before me
[02:05.02] Once I was twenty years old
[02:13.28] Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
[02:17.78] We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
[02:23.53] Soon we'll be thirty years old
[02:29.53] I'm still learning about life
[02:31.56] My woman brought children for me
[02:33.28] So I can sing them all my songs
[02:35.53] And I can tell them stories
[02:37.52] Most of my boys are with me
[02:39.05] Some are still out seeking glory
[02:41.03] And some I had to leave behind
[02:43.01] My brother I'm still sorry
[02:45.07] Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
[02:49.83] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
[02:53.34] I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
[02:57.36] I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
[03:01.08] Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
[03:05.59] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
[03:09.09] Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:17.58] Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold
[03:21.59] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
[03:25.08] Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:33.09] Once I was seven years old, momma told me
[03:37.10] Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[03:41.09] Once I was seven years old
[03:47.61] Once I was seven years old
