Once I was seven years old
my momma told me
-
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
