Once I was 7 years old
My mama told me
Go make yourself some friends
Or you'll be lonely
Once I was 7 years old.
It was a big, big world, but we thought we were bigger. Pushing each other to the limits, we won't learn them quicker. By eleven smoke herb and drinking burning liquor. Never rich so we were out to make the steady figure.
Once I was eleven years old.
My daddy told me
Go get yourself a wife, or you'll be lonely
Once I was eleven years old.
I always had that dream like my dads before me. So I stared writing songs, I started writing stories. Something about the glory, just seemed to bore me. Cause only those I really love, will ever really know me.
Once I was twenty years old
My story got told
Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Once I was twenty years old.
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure. Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major. I got my boys with me at least those in favor. And if we don't lead before I leave. I hope I'll see you later.
Once I was twenty years old
My story got told
I was writing about everything I saw before me
Once I was twenty years old.
Soon I'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold. We've traveled around the world, and we're still roaming.
Soon we'll be thirty years old.
I'm still learning about life, my woman brought children for me. So I can sing them all my songs, and I can tell them all my stories. Most of my boys are with me. Some are still out seeking glory. And some I had to leave behind, my brother I'm still sorry.
Soon I'll be 60 years old
My daddy got 61
Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
I made the man so happy when i wrote him a letter once.
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month.
Soon I'll be sixty years old will I think the world is cold. Or will I have a lot of children who can bore me. Soon I'll be sixty years old.
Soon I'll be sixty years old
Will I think the work is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who will bore me
Soon I'll be sixty years old.
Once I was seven years old
My momma told me, go get yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Once I was seven years old.
Once I was seven years old.
