Verse 1:
Once I was Seven years
old, my momma told me
Go
make yourself some friends or you’ll be
lonely
Once I was Seven years
old
It was a big
big world,
but we thought we were bigger
Push-
ing each other to the limits, we were learning
quicker
By eleven
smoking
herb and drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady
figure
Verse 2:
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 have
that
dream like my Daddy before me
So I´m started writing songs I started writing
stories
Something about
the glory,
just always seemed to bore me
Cause only those I really love will ever really
know me
Verse 3:
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 meet before I leave, I hope to see you
later
Verse 4:
Once I was 20
years old my
story got told
I was writing about everything I saw before
me
Once I was 20
years
old
Soon we´ll be 30 [D years
old our songs have been sold
we´ve travel around the world and we´re still
roaming
Soon we´ll be 30
years
old
Bridge:
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
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 the
letter once
I hope my children come and visit once or
twice a month
Soon I´ll be 60
years old
will I think the world is cold
or will I have a lot of children who
can warm me?
Soon I´ll be 60
years
old
[Dadd4|]
Soon I´ll be 60
years old
will I think the world is cold
Or will I have a lot of children who can warm
me?
Soon I´ll be 60
years old
Outro:
Once I was seven years
old, my momma told me,
go make yourself some friends or you’ll be
lonely
once I was seven
years
old
once I was seven
years
old
