7 Years

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

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

Once I was eleven years old

Once I was eleven years old

Once I was eleven years old

Once I was twenty years old my story got told

Before the morning sun when life was lonely

Once I was twenty years old

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

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 cold

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

Soon we'll be sixty years old oh oh

Soon we'll be sixty years old

Soon I'll be sixty years old yeah yeah

Soon I'll be sixty years old

Once I was seven years old momma told me

Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely

Once I was seven years old
