7 Years Nicole Cross

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 1]
It was a big, big world, but we thought we were bigger
Pushin' each other to the limits, we were learnin' quicker
By eleven smokin' herb and drinkin' burnin' liquor
Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

[Chorus 2]
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

[Verse 2]
I always had that dream like my daddy before me
So I started writin' songs, I started writin' stories
Somethin' about that glory, just always seemed to bore me
'Cause only those I really love will ever really know me

[Chorus 3]
Once I was twenty years old, my story got told
Before the mornin' sun, when life was lonely
Once I was twenty years old
