文本歌词

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
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 feel always had that dream like my daddy before 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 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 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 warm 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
