INTRO
OnceI was seven years old
my momma told me, Go
make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
OnceI was seven years old
Itwas a big big world
but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits
we were learning quicker
Byeleven smoking herb
and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out
to make that steady figure
OnceI was eleven years old, my
daddy told meGo get yourself a wife
or you'll be lonely
OnceI was eleven years old
I always had that dream
like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs
I started writing stories
Something about that glory
just always seemed to bore me
'Cause only those I really love
will ever reallyknow me
OnceI was twenty years old, my
story got toldBefore the morning sun
when life was lonely
OnceI was twenty years old
I only see my goals
I don't believe in failure
'Cause I know the smallest voices
they can makeit major
I got my boys with me
at least those in favor
And if we don't meet before
I leave, I hope I'll seeyou later
OnceI was twenty years old,my
story got toldI was writing about everything
I saw beforeme
OnceI was twenty years old
Soonwe'll be thirty years old,our
songs have been sold
We've traveled around the world
and we're still roaming
Soonwe'll be thirty years old
I'mstill learning about life
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
And I can tellthem stories
Most of my boys are with me
Someare still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind
My brother I'mstill sorry
SoonI'll be sixty years old,my
daddy got sixty-one
Remember life and then
your lifebecomes a better one
I made a man so happy
whenI wrote a letter once
I hope my children
come and visit, once or twice a month
SoonI'll be sixty years old,will I
think the world is cold, Or will I
have a lot of children who can warm me
SoonI'll be sixty years old
SoonI'll be sixty years old, will I
think the world is cold, Or will I
have a lot of children who can warmme
SoonI'll be sixty years old
OnceI was seven years old
momma told me,Go
make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
OnceI was seven years old
OnceI was seven years old
