|
|
| 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 |
| Eb/D |
| 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: |
| Ebmaj7 Ebmaj7 Gm Gm x4 |
|
|
| 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 |
