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
PUSHIN' 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
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
WRITIN' SONGS
I STARTED
WRITIN' STORIES
SOMETHIN' 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 MORNIN' 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
ONCE I WAS TWENTY
YEARS OLD MY
STORY GOT TOLD
I WAS
WRITIN' 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
ROAMIN'
SOON WE'LL BE THIRTY
YEARS OLD
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 SEEKIN' GLORY
AND SOME I HAD
TO LEAVE BEHIND
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 THE 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 I'LL BE SIXTY
YEARS OLD
SOON I'LL BE SIXTY
YEARS OLD
OR 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
