Текст песни
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 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 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
Once, I was twenty years old, my story got told
I was writing about everything I saw before me
Once, I was twenty years old
Years old
Eleven years old
Like my daddy before me
I started writing stories
Something about that glory
'Cause only those I really love will love me
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
Once, I was twenty years old, my story got told
I was writing about everything I saw before me
Once, I was twenty 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
