Припев:
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.
Припев:
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.
Припев:
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.
Припев:
Once I was twenty
years old, my story got
told,
I was writing ‘bout 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.
Бридж:
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.
Припев:
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.
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.
