7 Years

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 singing songs remain up going begger
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
Once I was eleven years old my momma told me
Go get yourself a man or you'll be lonely
Once I was eleven years oldI 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 twenty years old my story got told
Before the morning sun when life was lonely
Once I was twenty years oldI only
see my goals I don't believe in failure
'Cause I know the smallest voices they can make it
majorI got my girl's with me at least those in favor
And if we don't meet before I leaveI hope I'll see you later
Once I was twenty years old my story got
toldI was writing about everything I saw before me
Once I was twenty years old
Soon we'll be thirty years old our songs have been sold
We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
Soon we'll be thirty years old
I'm still learning about life
My husband 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 sisters I'm still sorry
Soon I'll be sixty years old my daddy got sixty-one
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 sixty years old
Will I think the world is coldOr will I have a lot of children
Who can warm meSoon I'll be sixty
years oldSoon I'll be sixty 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 sixty 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
Once I was seven years old
