[00:00.0]7 Years - Stereo Avenue
[00:20.74]Once I was seven years old my mama told me
[00:25.05]Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[00:28.64]Once I was seven years old
[00:36.78]It was a big big world but we thought we were bigger
[00:40.77]Pushing each other to the limits we were learning quicker
[00:44.99]By eleven smoking herb and drinking burning liquor
[00:48.98]Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure
[00:52.76]Once I was eleven years old my daddy told me
[00:57.11]Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely
[01:00.5]Once I was eleven years old
[01:09.020004]I always had that dream like my daddy before me
[01:12.69]So I started writing songs I started writing stories
[01:16.729996]Something about that glory just always seemed to bore me
[01:20.78]'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me
[01:24.83]Once I was twenty years old my story got told
[01:29.29]Before the morning sun when life was lonely
[01:32.54]Once I was twenty years old
[01:40.990005]I only see my goals
[01:42.990005]I don't believe in failure
[01:44.9]'Cause I know the smallest voices they can make it major
[01:48.81]I got my boys with me at least those in favor
[01:52.78]And if we don't meet before I leave
[01:54.9]I hope I'll see you later
[01:56.86]Once I was twenty years old
[01:59.09]My story got told
[02:01.04]I was writing about everything I saw before me
[02:04.46]Once I was twenty years old
[02:12.56]Soon we'll be thirty years old
[02:15.06]Our songs have been sold
[02:17.03]We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming
[02:20.48]Soon we'll be thirty years old
[02:28.97]I'm still learning about life
[02:30.83]My woman brought children for me
[02:32.81]So I can sing them all my songs
[02:34.85]And I can tell them stories
[02:36.81]Most of my boys are with me
[02:38.63]Some are still out seeking glory
[02:40.81]And some I had to leave behind
[02:42.84]My brother I'm still sorry
[02:44.74]Soon I'll be sixty years old
[02:47.13]My daddy got sixty-one
[02:49.08]Remember life and then your life becomes a better one
[02:52.5]I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
[02:56.81]I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month
[03:00.66]Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:02.97]Will I think the world is cold
[03:04.7]Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
[03:08.49]Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:16.63]Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:19.22]Will I think the world is cold
[03:20.7]Or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
[03:24.61]Soon I'll be sixty years old
[03:32.8]Once I was seven years old
[03:35.01]My mama told me
[03:37.02]Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely
[03:40.45]Once I was seven years old
