Go make yourself some friends or you'll be lonely

Once I was seven years old

It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger

Pushing each other to the limits, we were learning quicker

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 the glory, just always seemed to bore me

Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

Once I was 20 years old, my story got told

Before the morning sun, when life was lonely

Once I was 20 years old

I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure

Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major

I got my boys with me at least those in favor

And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

Once I was 20 years old, my story got told

I was writing about everything, I saw before me

Once I was 20 years old

Soon we'll be 30 years old, our songs have been sold

We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming

Soon we'll be 30 years old

Once I was seven years old

When it's my time, I know you'll tailor a new suit for me

And buy a new tie, so I'll look this good

Boy, you were right

You said only them good ones die young

Never in my life did I look this good

Everyone welcome to my funeral

Everyone I know better be wasted

You know I would pour one up

Cause the way I lived, it was amazing

All of my friends are in the room

Party for me - I'd party too

You're all on my tap

Bartenders pour out the whiskeys on me

And don't be so sad

Cause I lived this good

We were closer

Now it's over

Oh it doesn't mean it's closure

I see you and I love you

I'll be watching out above you

Everyone welcome to my funeral

Everyone I know better be wasted

You know I would pour one up

Cause the way I lived, it was amazing

All of my friends are in the room

Party for me - I'd party too

All of my friends are in the room

Party for me - I'd party too

Everyone welcome to my funeral

Everyone I know better be wasted

You know I would pour one up

Cause the way I lived, it was amazing

Welcome to my funeral

Everyone I know better be wasted

You know I would pour one up

Cause the way I lived, it was amazing

Welcome to my funeral

Everyone I know better be wasted

You know I would pour one up

Cause the way I lived, it was amazing

So welcome to my funeral

Welcome to my funeral
