[Em]Once I was seven years o[G]ld,

my momma told [C]me,

[D]friends or you’ll be lonely

[Em]once I was Seven years o[G]ld [C]

[Em]It was a big big w[G]orld,

but we thought [C]we were bigger.

Pushing each other to the l[D]imits,

[Em]By eleven smoking herb

and drinking [G]burning liquor

[C]Never rich so we were

out to [D]make that steady figure

like my Daddy before [C]me

So I´m started writing [D]songs

[Em]Something about the g[G]lory,

just always seemed to [C]bore me,

Cause only those I really [D]love

[Em]Once I was twenty years ol[G]d,

my story got t[C]old,

before the morning [D]sun, when life was lonely.

[Em]Once I was twenty years ol[G]d [C]

[Em]I only seek my goals,

I don’t be[G]lieve in failure.

[C]Cause I know the smallest [D]voices,

[Em]I got my boys with me at least t[G]hose in favour

[C]and if we don´t see before I [D]leave,

[Em]Once I was 20 years ol[G]d

we´re travel around the [D]world

[Em]Soon we´ll be 30 years ol[G]d [C]

[Em]I´m still learning about li[G]fe

[C]so I can sing them all my songs

and I can t[D]ell them storys

[Em]Most of my boys are with [G]me

some are still out seeking glo[C]ry

my brother I´[D]m still sorry

[Em]Soon I´ll be 60 years ol[G]d

my daddy got sixty-[C]one

remember life and then your [D]life

[Em]I make the man so hap[G]py

[C]I hope my children come and [D]visit

[Em]Soon I´ll be 60 years ol[G]d

[C]when I have a lot of children

who can [D]bore me

[Em]Soon I´ll be 60 years ol[G]d [C]

[C]when I have a lot of children

who can [D]warm
