[Intro]
Do you remember this song?
Will you sing it with me?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 1]
It was a big, big world, but we thought we were bigger
Pushing each other to the limits, we were learnin' quicker
By eleven, smokin' herb and drinkin' burnin' liquor
Never rich, so we were out to make that stеady figure

[Chorus]
Once, I was elеven years old, my daddy told me
"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely"
Once, I was eleven years old
And she's here, ladies and gentlemen

[Verse 2]
I always had that dream like my daddy before me
So I started writin' songs, I started writin' stories
Somethin' about this glory just always seemed to bore me
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[Chorus]
Once, I was twenty years old, my story got told
Before the mornin' sun, when life was lonely
Once, I was twenty years old

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Once, I was twenty years old, my story got told
I was writin' 'bout all the things I saw before me
Once, I was twenty years old

[Bridge]
Soon, we'll be thirty years old, songs have been sold
We've traveled around the world and we're still roamin'
Soon, we'll be thirty years old
Once, we were thirty years old

[Verse 4]
I'm still learnin' 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
Some I had to leave behind, my brother, I'm still sorry
[Chorus]
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

[Breakdown]
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 hold me?
Soon, I'll be sixty years old
Ladies and gentlemen, make a little noise for my boys

[Outro]
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
