[00:18.94]Once I was seven years old, my mama told me
[00:23.26]"Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely."
[00:26.39]Once I was seven years old
[00:34.03]It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger
[00:37.72]Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker
[00:41.42]By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
[00:44.90]Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
[00:48.39]Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me
[00:52.63]"Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely."
[00:55.58]Once I was eleven years old
[00:57.65]
[01:32.89]Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold
[01:37.09]We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
[01:39.87]Soon we'll be thirty years old
[01:47.84]I'm still learning about life
[01:49.46]My woman brought children for me
[01:51.29]So I can sing them all my songs
[01:53.20]And I can tell them stories
[01:54.92]Most of my boys are with me
[01:56.64]Some are still out seeking glory
[01:58.68]And some I had to leave behind
[02:00.55]My brother, I'm still sorry
[02:02.22]Soon I'll be sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one
[02:06.30]Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one
[02:09.38]Once I was eleven years old
