  • Once I was seven years old, my mama told me

  • Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely

  • Once I was seven years old

  • By eleven, smoking herb and drinking burning liquor

  • Never rich, so we were out to make that steady figure

  • Once I was eleven years old, my daddy told me

  • Go get yourself a wife or you'll be lonely

  • Once I was eleven years old

  • I always had that dream, like my daddy before me

  • So I started writing songs, I started writing stories

  • Something about that glory, just always seemed to bore me

  • 'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

  • Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
