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. Pushing 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
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 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 really know me
Once I was 20 years old, my story got told Before the morning sun, when life was lonely Once I was 20 years old
Soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold, We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming. Soon we'll be 30 years old.
Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61 Remember life and then your life becomes a better one I made a man so happy when I wrote a 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 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
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
