7 Years

Tiffany Alvord


Once I was 7 years old
My mama told me
"Go make yourself some friends
or you'll be lonely. "
Once I was 7 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 11, smoking herb
and drinking burning liquor
Never rich, so we were out
to make that steady figure

Once I was 11 years old
My daddy told me
"Go get yourself a wife
or you'll be lonely. "
Once I was 11 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 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

I'm still learning about life
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
And I can tell them stories
Most of my boys are with me
Some are still out seeking glory
And some I had to leave behind
My brother, I'm still sorry

Soon I'll be 60 years old
My daddy got 61
Remember life, and then your life becomes a better one
I made a man so happy when I wrote a letter once
I hope my children come and visit once or twice a month

(x2)
Soon I'll be 60 years old
Will I think the world is cold
or will I have a lot of children who can warm me
Soon I'll be 60 years old

Once I was 7 years old
My mama told me
"Go make yourself some friends
or you'll be lonely. "
Once I was 7 years old x2
