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 11, smoking herb
and drinking burning liquor Never rich, so we were out to make that
steady figure
Once, I was 11 years old, my daddy told me "Go get yourself a wife,
or you'll be lonely" Once, I was 11 years old
I always had that dream like my daddy before me So I started writing
songs, I started writing stories Something about the 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
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 20 years old, my story got told I was writing 'bout
everything, I saw before me 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
( Noruto fans ready!! ) 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 60 years old, my daddy got 61 Remember life and then
your life becomes a better one I made the 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 hold me? Soon, I'll be 60 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( THANK FOR VISITING )
