[00:01.82]Once I was 7 years old my momma told me
[00:05.81]Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[00:09.31]Once I was 7 years old
[00:17.15]It was a big big world but we thought we were bigger
[00:21.80]Pushing each other to the limits we were learning quicker
[00:25.89]By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
[00:29.58]Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
[00:33.27]Once I was 11 years old my daddy told me
[00:37.76]Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
[00:41.21]Once I was 11 years old
[00:49.09]I always had that dream like my daddy before me
[00:53.64]So I started writing songs I started writing stories
[00:57.60]Something about the glory just always seemed to bore me
[01:02.15]Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[01:05.70]Once I was 20 years old my story got told
[01:09.84]Before the morning sun when life was lonely
[01:13.33]Once I was 20 years old
[01:18.56]
[01:21.51]I only see my goals I don't believe in failure
[01:25.61]Cause I know the smallest voices they can make it major
[01:29.66]I got my boys with me at least those in favor
[01:33.26]And if we don't meet before I leave I hope I'll see you later
[01:37.10]Once I was 20 years old my story got told
[01:42.13]I was writing about everything I saw before me
[01:45.23]Once I was 20 years old
[01:50.81]
[01:53.56]Soon we'll be 30 years old our songs have been sold
[01:58.21]We've traveled around the world and we're still rolling
[02:01.55]Soon we'll be 30 years old
[02:09.34]I'm still learning about life
[02:11.63]My woman brought children for me
[02:13.63]So I can sing them all my songs
[02:15.97]And I can tell them stories
[02:17.62]Most of my boys are with me
[02:19.46]Some are still out seeking glory
[02:21.56]And some I had to leave behind
[02:23.21]My brother I'm still sorry
[02:25.65]Soon I'll be 60 years old my daddy got 61
[02:28.05]Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
[02:33.43]I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once
[02:37.64]I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month
[02:41.53]Soon I'll be 60 years old will I think the world is cold
[02:46.21]Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
[02:49.26]Soon I'll be 60 years old
