| Once I was seven years old my momma 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 saw the world and it was turning bitter
|
| Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
|
| Once I was 11 years old my daddy told me
|
| Go find yourself a love 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 that 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 girls 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
|
| I’m still learning about life
|
| My man brought children for me
|
| So I can sing them all my songs
|
| And I can tell them stories
|
| Most of my girls are with me
|
| Some are still out seeking glory
|
| And some I had to leave behind
|
| My sister, 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 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 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 warm me
|
| Soon I’ll be 60 years old
|
| Once I was seven years old, my momma told me
|
| Go make yourself some friends or you’ll be lonely
|
| Once I was seven years old
