7 Years

Once I was 7 years old
My momma told me go
Make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
Once I was 7 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 hard and drinking burning liquor
Never rich and we were out to make that steady figure
Once I was eleven years old
My daddy told me go
Get yourself a man 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 before 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
Whe 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 need before I leave
I hope I'll see you later
Once I was 20 years old
My story got told
I was writing about 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
Ooh
Soon I'll be 60 years old
Will I think the world is cold
Or will I have al lot of children
Who can warm me
Soon I'll be 60 years old
Once I was 7 years old
My momma told me go
Make yourself some friends
Or you'll be lonely
Once I was 7 years old
Once I was 7 years old
