[00:20.57]Once I was seven years old my mama told me
[00:25.07]Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[00:28.50]Once I was seven years old
[00:36.77]It was a big big world but we thought we were bigger
[00:41.03]Pushing each other to the limits we were learning quicker
[00:45.00]By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
[00:49.07]Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
[00:52.46]Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
[00:57.00]Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
[01:00.50]Once I was eleven years old
[01:08.80]I always had that dream like my daddy before me
[01:12.86]So I started writing songs I started writing stories
[01:16.85]Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
[01:20.92]'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[01:24.56]Once I was twenty years old my story got told
[01:29.21]Before the morning sun when life was lonely
[01:32.67]Once I was twenty years old
[01:40.85]I only see my goals
[01:42.74]I don't believe in failure
[01:44.89]'Cause I know the smallest voices they can make it major
[01:48.75]I got my boys with me at least those in favor
[01:52.86]And if we don't meet before I leave I hope I'll see you later
[01:56.50]Once I was twenty years old my story got told
[02:00.85]I was writing about everything I saw before me
[02:04.47]Once I was twenty years old
[02:12.53]Soon we'll be thirty years old our songs have been sold
[02:16.97]We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
[02:20.51]Soon we'll be thirty years old
[02:28.63]I'm still learning about life
[02:30.66]My woman brought children for me
[02:32.82]So I can sing them all my songs
[02:34.68]And I can tell them stories
[02:36.75]Most of my boys are with me
[02:38.61]Some are still out seeking glory
[02:40.87]And some I had to leave behind
[02:42.75]My brother I'm still sorry
[02:44.60]Soon I'll be sixty years old my daddy got sixty-one
[02:48.82]Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
[02:52.67]I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
[02:56.76]I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month
[03:00.54]Soon I'll be sixty years old will I think the world is cold
[03:04.75]Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
[03:08.45]Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:16.56]Soon I'll be sixty years old will I think the world is cold
[03:20.77]Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
[03:24.59]Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:32.53]Once I was seven years old my mama told me
[03:37.03]Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[03:40.50]Once I was seven years old
[03:48.55]Once I was seven years old
