[Intro]
GmOnce I was seven years Bbold
[Verse 1]
  GmIt was a big big wBborld, but we thought we were biggeEbr
Pushing each other to the limits, we were lFearning quickGmer
By eleven smoking Bbherb and drinking burning liquoEbr
Never Cmrich so we were Ebout to make that Fsteady figuGmre
[Verse 2]
I always had that dreBbam like my dad before meEb  
So I started writing songs, I started Fwriting storieGms
Something about that glorBby just always seemed to bore mEbe
'Cause only Cmthose I really Eblove will ever Freally know mGmeF  
[Chorus 1]
EbOnce I was seven years Gmold, my mama told Fme
"Go make yourself some Bbfriends or you'll be Dmlonely"
EbOnce I was seven years Gmold     (Fseven years old)
EbOnce I was twenty years Gmold, my story got Ftold
Before the morning Bbsun, when life was Dmlonely
EbOnce I was twenty years Gmold    (Ftwenty years old)
[Verse 3]
  GmI only see my gBboals, I don't believe in failuEbre
'Cause I know the smallest voices, they can Bbmake it majoGmr
I got my boys with Bbme at least those in favoCmr
And if we don't mEbeet before I leave, I hope I'll Fsee you lateGmrF  
[Chorus 4]
   BbOnce I was twenty Fyears Gmold, my story got Ftold
Was writing 'bout everyBbthing, I saw beDmfore me
EbOnce I was twenty years Gmold     (Ftwenty years old)
EbSoon we'll be thirty years Gmold, our songs have been Fsold
We've traveled around the Bbworld and we're still Dmroaming
EbSoon we'll be thirty years Gmold     (Fthirty years old)
[Verse 4]
   GmI'm still learning about lBbife
My woman brought children for mEbe
So I can sing them all my songs
And I can Ftell them storiGmes
Most of my boys are with me
BbSome are still out seeking glorEby
And some I had to leave behind
My brother BbI'm so sorry
[Bridge]
EbSoon I'll be sixty years Gmold, my daddy got sixty-Fone
Remember life and then your Dmlife becomes a better one
  EbI made a man so happy Fwhen I wrote a Gmletter oncDme
I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
[Chorus 5]
EbSoon I'll be sixty years Gmold, will I think the world is Fcold
Or will I have a lot of Bbchildren who can warm me
EbSoon I'll be sixty years Gmold     (Fsixty years old)
EbSoon I'll be sixty years Gmold, will I think the world is cold
Or will I Bbhave a lot of Dmchildren who can warm me
EbSoon I'll be sixty years Gmold     (Fsixty years old)
