[00:18.000]Once I was seven years old my momma told me

[00:22.540]Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely

[00:25.930]Once I was seven years old

[00:34.300]It was a big big world but we thought we were bigger

[00:38.520]Pushing each other to the limits we were learning quicker

[00:42.560]By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

[00:46.510]Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

[00:49.980]Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me

[00:54.520]Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely

[00:57.970]Once I was eleven years old

[01:06.410]I always had that dream like my daddy before me

[01:10.230]So I started writing songs I started writing stories

[01:14.350]Something about the glory just always seemed to bore me

[01:18.140]Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

[01:22.110]Once I was 20 years old my story got told

[01:26.770]Before the morning sun when life was lonely

[01:29.980]Once I was 20 years old

[01:38.370]I only see my goals I don't believe in failure

[01:42.390]Cause I know the smallest voices they can make it major

[01:46.230]I got my boys with me at least those in favor

[01:50.310]And if we don't meet before I leave I hope I'll see you later

[01:54.010]Once I was 20 years old my story got told

[01:58.320]I was writing about everything I saw before me

[02:01.940]Once I was 20 years old

[02:10.020]Soon we'll be 30 years old our songs have been sold

[02:14.310]We've traveled around the world and we're still rolling

[02:17.980]Soon we'll be 30 years old

[02:26.260]I'm still learning about life

[02:28.220]My woman brought children for me

[02:30.180]So I can sing them all my songs

[02:32.120]And I can tell them stories

[02:34.220]Most of my boys are with me

[02:35.960]Some are still out seeking glory

[02:38.210]And some I had to leave behind

[02:40.280]My brother I'm still sorry

[02:42.020]Soon I'll be 60 years old my daddy got 61

[02:46.430]Remember life and then your life becomes a better one

[02:50.210]I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once

[02:54.240]I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month

[02:57.870]Soon I'll be 60 years old will I think the world is cold

[03:02.200]Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me

[03:05.850]Soon I'll be 60 years old

[03:14.020]Soon I'll be 60 years old will I think the world is cold

[03:18.300]Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me

[03:21.950]Soon I'll be 60 years old

[03:29.930]Once I was seven years old my momma told me

[03:34.380]Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely

[03:37.970]Once I was seven years old

[03:45.900]Once I was seven years old
