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
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 always had that dream like my daddy before me
So I started writing songs I started writing stories
Something about the glory always seemed to bore me
Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
Once I was 20 years old my story got told
Before the morning sun when life was lonely
Once I was 20 years old
