One Of These Days
One of these days,
I'm gonna grow up.
I'm gonna have a job that finally pays my rent.
I'll have at least
A couple bucks left
After all my bills are paid, that I can spend.
One of these days, I won't be livin' hand to mouth.
I'll finally have a place to call my own.
One of these days,
Yeah, one of these days,
One of these days, When I'm sleepin' 'neath a stone.
One of these days,
I'll finally catch up
With my family and the friends I left behind.
I'll just drop in...
They'll say they missed me.
When Mama kisses me, I'll barely mind.
One of these days, the sun won't hide behind the clouds,
And mornings won't chill me to the bone.
One of these days,
Yeah, one of these days,
One of these days, When I'm sleepin' 'neath a stone.
I don't mean to sound so morbid,
But it's a proven fact.
We're all goin' somewhere someday,
And we're not comin' back....
One of these days,
You'll say you love me.
You'll forgive me all the things I've done.
You'll hold my hand,
Walk slowly with me
As they take me to my new place in the sun.
One of these days, I won't be such a sorry man
I'll lay me down to sleep, but not alone.
One of these days,
Yeah, one of these days,
One of these days, When I'm sleepin' 'neath a stone.
One of these days,
Yeah, one of these days,
One of these days, When I'm sleepin' 'neath a stone.
