F Gm F Bb/F Ebmaj7
It was a big big world, but we thought we were bigger

By 11 smoking herb & drinking burning liquor

Never rich so we were out to make that steady figure

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
[Refrain 3]

Once I was 20 years old, my story got told

Before the morning sun, when life was lonely
Gm F Bb/F Ebmaj7 Gm/Bb
Once I was 20 years old

Gm F Bb/F Ebmaj7
I only see my goals, I don't believe in failure
F Gm
Cause I know the smallest voices, they can make it major

I got my boys with me at least those in favour

And if we don't meet before I leave, I hope I'll see you later

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
[Verse 4]

I'm still learning about life
Ebmaj7
My woman brought children for me
So I can sing them all my songs
F Gm
And I can tell them stories
F Bb/F
Most of my boys are with me

Some are still out seeking glory
some I had to leave behind
Bb/F
My brother I'm still sorry
[Bridge]

Soon I'll be 60 years old, my daddy got 61
