7 years

[00:20.22] Once I was seven years old my momma told me

[00:24.22] Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely

[00:27.97] Once I was seven years old

[00:35.72] It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger

[00:40.22] Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker

[00:44.22] By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

[00:48.23] Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

[00:51.72] Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me

[00:56.23] Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely

[00:59.73] Once I was eleven years old

[01:08.51] I always had that dream like my daddy before me

[01:12.22] So I started writing songs, I started writing stories

[01:16.24] Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me

[01:20.22] 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

[01:23.72] Once I was twenty years old, my story got told

[01:28.72] Before the morning sun, when life was lonely

[01:31.72] Once I was twenty years old

[01:39.22] I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure

[01:44.22] 'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major

[01:47.97] I got my boys with me at least those in favor

[01:52.22] And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

[01:55.72] Once I was twenty years old, my story got told

[02:00.48] I was writing about everything, I saw before me

[02:03.72] Once I was twenty years old

[02:12.23] Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold

[02:16.49] We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming

[02:19.98] Soon we'll be thirty years old

[02:27.97] I'm still learning about life

[02:29.98] My woman brought children for me

[02:31.97] So I can sing them all my songs

[02:34.23] And I can tell them stories

[02:35.97] Most of my boys are with me

[02:37.98] Some are still out seeking glory

[02:40.24] And some I had to leave behind

[02:42.22] My brother I'm still sorry

[02:44.23] Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one

[02:48.23] Remember life and then your life becomes a better one

[02:51.97] I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once

[02:55.74] 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

[03:04.22] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me

[03:07.73] Soon I'll be sixty years old

[03:15.76] Soon I'll be sixty years old, will I think the world is cold

[03:20.22] Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me

[03:23.97] Soon I'll be sixty years old

[03:31.72] Once I was seven years old, momma told me

[03:36.23] Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely

[03:40.22] Once I was seven years old

[03:47.98] Once I was seven years old
