7 Years

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 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 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 Before the morning sun when life was lonely Once I was twenty 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 twenty years old my story got told I was writing 'bout everything I saw before me Once I was twenty years old Soon we'll be thirty years old, our songs have been sold We've traveled around the world and we're still roaming Soon we'll be thirty 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 sixty years old, my daddy got sixty-one 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 Soon I'll be sixty 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 sixty years old [中譯] 那年七歲 老媽告訴我 要多交些朋友 否則你會孤單 就在我七歲的時候 在這巨大的世界中 總覺得我們自己更強大 試探極限彼此激勵 從中學習得更快 還沒十一歲 就呼嗨沉溺酒精世界 口袋空空 得出去努力打拼掙些錢 十一歲時 老爸告訴我 去討個老婆 不然你會寂寞 就在我十一歲的時候 老爸是我圓夢的動力 我開始寫歌 寫些故事 我對榮耀這檔事沒啥興趣 因為只有那些我愛的人 才會真正懂我 二十歲時 我的故事公諸於世 站在耀眼晨光前 人生卻陷入一片孤獨中 就在我二十歲的時候 不怕失敗 努力朝著目標前進 我知道這些微弱的聲音 有一天能夠響徹雲霄 我有志同道合的哥兒們 並肩同行 相信我們總有一天會再相見 二十歲時 我的故事公諸於世 寫滿眼前經歷的每件事 就在我二十歲的時候 就快邁入三十大關 我們的歌曲大受歡迎 我們環遊世界 同時也在四處遊盪 就快邁入三十大關 還在學習如何生活 我的女人替我生了孩子 我可以唱著歌 說著故事給他們聽 大部分的哥兒們站在我這邊 有些人還是不斷追逐名利 志不同不相為友 兄弟 抱歉啦 很快的我就要六十歲了 老爸活到六十一歲 從生活中學習經驗並且更加完整 我曾寫下讓人開心的詞句 希望孩子們一個月能來看我一兩次 很快我就要六十歲了 到時會不會感到這世界是冷漠的 會不會有很多能夠暖心懂事的孩子們 很快我就要六十歲了
