7 Years
Once I was seven years old my mama told me
- 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
- 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
- Once I was seven years old
- Once I was seven years old
