Intro:
Once I was seven years old,
My mama 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 smoking herb
And drinking burning liquor
Never rich so we were out
To make that steady figure
Once I was eleven years old.
My daddy told me
"Go get yourself a wife
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 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 old
(Lukas Graham!)
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 boys 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 twenty years old
My story got told
I 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 woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
And I can tell them stories
Most of my boys are with me
Some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind
My brother 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
Bridge:
Soon 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
Soon 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 mama told me
"Go make yourself some friends
Or you'll be lonely."
Once I was seven years old
Once I was seven years old

Lyrics & chords · Original key

Intro:

Once I was seven years old,

My mama 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 smoking herb

And drinking burning liquor

Never rich so we were out

To make that steady figure

Once I was eleven years old.

My daddy told me

"Go get yourself a wife

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 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 old

(Lukas Graham!)

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 boys 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 twenty years old

My story got told

I 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 woman brought children for me

So I can sing them all my songs

And I can tell them stories

Most of my boys are with me

Some are still out seeking glory

And some I had to leave behind

My brother 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

Bridge:

Soon 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

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 mama told me

"Go make yourself some friends

Or you'll be lonely."

Once I was seven years old
