Intro chords: – – – Verse 1:
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
Push- ing 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
Verse 2:
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 have that dream like my Daddy before me
So I´m started writing songs I started writing stories
Something about the glory, just always seemed to bore me
Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
Verse 3:
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 to see you later
Verse 4:
Once I was 20 years old my story got told
I was writing about everything I saw before me
Once I was 20 years old
Soon we´ll be 30 [D years old our songs have been sold
we´ve travel around the world and we´re still roaming
Soon we´ll be 30 years old
Bridge:
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
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 the 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 [Dadd4|]
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
Outro:
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
