OnceGm I was 7 years oldA# my momma told meD#
Go make yourself some friends
or you'll be lonely
OnceGm I was 7 years oldA# ... D#
It wGmas a big big worldA#,
but we thought we were biggerD#
Pushing each other to the limits,
we were learning quickerGm
By eleven smoking herbA#
and drinking burning liquorD#
Never rich so we were out
to make that steady figure
OnceGm I was 11 years oldA#.. my daddy told meD#
Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
OnceGm I was 11 years oldA#... D#
I aGmlways had that dreamA#
Like my daddy before meD#
So I started writing songs,
I started writing storiesGm
Something about that gloryA#
Just always seemed to bore me D#
Cause only those I really love
will ever really know me
OnceGm I was 20 years oldA#, my story got toldD#
Before the morning sun,
when life was lonely
OnceGm I was 20 years oldA#... D#
I oGmnly see my goalsA#,
I don't believe in failureD#
Cause I know the smallest voices,
they can make it majorGm
I got my boys with meA#
at least those in favorD#
And if we don't meet before I leave,
I hope I'll see you later
OnceGm I was 20 years oldA#, my story got toldD#
I was writing 'bout everything, I saw before me
OnceGm I was 20 years oldA# ... D#
SoonGm I'll be 60 years oldA#,
will I think the world is coldD#
Or will I have a lot of children
who can warm me
SoonGm I'll be 60 years oldA# ... D#
OnceGm I was 7 years oldA#, my momma told meD#
Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
OnceGm I was 7 years oldA#... D#
OnceGm I was 7 years oldA#...
