One of These Days (V2)

(Earl Montgomery)

I won't have to chop no wood, I can be bad or I can be good

I can be any way that I feel one of these days.

Oh, I have to answer to anyone, I’ll get up with the mornin’ sun

But I’ll be gone like a bird could fly one of these days.

I might be a man that's dressed in black, be a hobo by the railroad track

Go in any place that I want to go one of these days.

Do anything that I want if I want to or if I don’t

But I'll be gone like the wayward wind one of these days.

One of these days it will soon be all over, cut and dry

And I won't have this urge to go all bottled up inside.

One of these days I'll look back, and I'll say I left in time,

'Cause somewhere for me, I know there's peace of mind.

--- Instrumental ---

I might someday be a preacher man and carry the Lord's Book in my hand,

Going ‘cross the country singing loud as I can one of these days.

But I won't have trouble on my back, cutting like the Devil with a chopping axe

Got to shake it off of my back one of these days.

One of these days it will soon be all over, cut and dry

And I won't have this urge to go all bottled up inside.

One of these days I'll look back, and I'll say I left in time,

'Cause somewhere for me, I know there's peace of mind.

There's going to be peace of mind for me one of these days...
