7 Years

7 Years - Kurt Hugo Schneider (库尔特·雨果·施耐特)/Citizen Shade

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 herb and drinking burning liquor

Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

Once I was 11 years old my daddy told me

Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely

Once I was 11 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 20 years old

My story got told

Before the morning sun

When life was lonely

Once I was 20 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 60 years old

My daddy got 61

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 60 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 60 years old

Soon I'll be 60 years old

Will I think the world is cold

Or will I have a lot of children who can hold me

Soon I'll be 60 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
