[00:00.64]Once I was seven years old, my mama told me
[00:05.52]Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely.
[00:08.98]Once I was seven years old.
[00:13.79]
[00:17.06]It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger.
[00:21.36]Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker.
[00:25.45]By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
[00:29.79]Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
[00:33.40]Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me
[00:37.50]Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely.
[00:41.71]Once I was eleven years old.
[00:45.58]
[00:48.41]I always had that dream like my daddy before me
[00:54.18]So I started writing songs, I started writing stories
[00:58.15]Something about the glory, just always seemed to bore me
[01:02.55]Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[01:06.42]Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
[01:11.41]Before the morning sun, when life was lonely.
[01:14.65]Once I was twenty years old.
[01:18.10]
[01:17.89]And everybody's watching her
[01:21.54]But she's looking at you, ooh, ooh
[01:25.27](You )
[01:37.70]
[01:39.12]Baby, this is what you came for
[01:43.71]Lightning strikes everytime she moves
[01:49.95]
[01:55.64]I'm still learning about life
[01:58.01]My woman brought children for me
[01:59.98]So I can sing them all my songs
[02:02.61]And I can tell them stories
[02:04.18]most of my boys are with me
[02:06.02]Some are still out seeking glory
[02:07.80]And some I had to leave behind
[02:10.77]My brother I'm still sorry
[02:12.38]Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
[02:15.68]Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
[02:19.51]I made the man so happy when I wrote a letter once
[02:24.35]I hope my children come and visit, once or twice a month
[02:27.59]Soon I'll be 60 years old, will I think the world is cold
[02:32.81]Or will I have a lot of children who can bore me
[02:36.66]Soon I'll be 60 years old
[02:40.16]
[02:40.98]Ooh...
[02:43.83]Baby, this is what you came for
[02:49.61]Lightning strikes everytime she moves
[02:55.16]And everybody's watching her
[02:59.63]But she's looking at you, ooh, ooh
[03:06.28](You)
[03:14.48]
[03:17.90]Once I was seven years old, my mama told me
[03:21.83]Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely.
[03:25.49]Once I was seven years old.
