[00:17.200]Once I was seven years old, my momma told me,
[00:21.500]Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely.
[00:25.300]Once I was seven years old.
[00:33.600]It was a big, big world, but we thought we were bigger.
[00:37.600]Pushing each other to the limits, we won't learn them quicker.
[00:41.600]By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
[00:45.600]Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
[00:49.200]Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me,
[00:53.600]Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely.
[00:57.200]Once I was eleven years old.
[01:05.600]I always had that dream like my daddy before me
[01:09.600]So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
[01:13.500]Something about that glory, just always seemed to bore me,
[01:17.500]Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[01:21.400]Once I was twenty years old, my story got told,
[01:26.000]Before the morning sun, when life was lonely.
[01:29.300]Once I was twenty years old.
[01:37.600]I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure.
[01:41.600]Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major.
[01:45.600]I got my boys with me at least those in favour,
[01:49.600]And if we don't see before I leave, I hope to see you later.
[01:53.200]Once I was 20 years old, my story got told
[01:57.600]I was writing about everything, I saw before me
[02:01.200]Once I was 20 years old.
[02:08.900]Soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold,
[02:13.600]We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming.
[02:17.000]Soon we'll be 30 years old.
[02:25.300]I'm still learning about life
[02:27.600]My woman brought children for me
[02:29.300]So I can sing them all my songs
[02:31.600]And I can tell them stories
[02:33.600]Most of my boys are with me
[02:35.200]Some are still out seeking glory
[02:37.600]And some I had to leave behind
[02:39.300]My brother I'm still sorry
[02:41.200]Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
[02:45.600]Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
[02:49.200]I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
[02:53.200]I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
[02:57.200]Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold
[03:01.600]Or will I have a lot of children who can warmme
[03:05.200]Soon I'll be 60 years old
[03:12.900]Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold
[03:17.500]Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
[03:21.200]Soon I'll be 60 years old
[03:29.300]Once I was seven years old, my momma told me,
[03:33.200]Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely.
[03:37.300]Once I was seven years old
[03:45.000]Once I was seven years old
