eOnce I was seven yDears Gold,
my momma told Cme,
go make yourself some friends or you'll be DloneGly
eonce I was Seven years oldG            C 


eIt was a big Dbig Gworld,
but we thought we were biggCer.

Pushing each other to the limits,
we were lDearning quickeer.
By eleven smoking Dherb
and drinking buGrning liqCuor
Never rich so we were out to make that Dsteady figure

eOnce I was eleven Dyears Gold,
my daddy told Cme,
go get yourself a wife or you'll be Dlonely.
eOnce I was eleven yeDars olGd     C 


eI always have tDhat dGream
like my Daddy before Cme

So I started writing songs
I started Dwriting stories  e 
Something about that DgloGry,
just always seemed to bore Cme,

Cause only those I really love
will ever Dreally know me


Oence I was twenty Dyears Gold,
my story got Ctold,
before the morning sun, when life was Dlonely.
eOnce I was twenty Dyears Gold        C 


eI only see Dmy Ggoals,
I don't believe in failCure.

Cause I know the smallest voices,
they can Dmake it major,  e 
I got my boys DwithG me at least those in favoCr

and if we don´t see before I leave,
I hope to Dsee you later.

eI´m still learning about life G 
my woman brought children for me  C 
so I can sing them all my songs

And some I had to leave behind
my brother I´m sFis/Dtill sorry
