    The song describes the narrator's life from ages 7 to 60. At age 7, his mother tells him to make friends or he'll be lonely. At 11, he starts smoking and drinking. At 20, his story is told and he writes songs. As he ages into his 30s and 60s, he reflects on having a family and hopes his children will visit him. The song uses each age to mark stages of growing up and experiences over time.
