Once I was seven years old,
my mama 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 twenty years old
My story got told
Before the morning sun,
when life was lonely
Once I was twenty years old

(Lukas Graham!)

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 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 we'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 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 sixty years old,
my daddy got sixty-one
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 sixty 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 sixty years old

Soon I'll be sixty 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 sixty years old

Once I was seven years old,
my mama told me,
"Go make yourself some friends
or you'll be lonely."
