song: one of these days

album: everywhere

we used to chase that boy home from school

we called him freckle faced red headed fool

he was different, he wasn't cool like me

sticks and stones didn't break any bones

but we never left well enough alone

one day he ran away from home you see

and i passed him as he walked away

and in his eyes i heard him say

one of these days you're gonna love me

you'll sit down by yourself and think

of all the times you pushed and shoved me

and what good friends we might have been

and then you're gonna sigh a little

and maybe even cry a little

but one of these days you're gonna love me

patty sue was a small town beauty

i took one look at her and had to pull her to me

lord knows she should have seen right through me

when i promised her the world

but at 17 you only want one thing

i left her standing with my high school ring

innocent tears in a pourin' rain

as i walked away

and i still see her in my dreams

and to this day she's whispering

one of these days you're gonna love me

you'll sit down by yourself and think

about the time you turned from me

and what good friends we might have been

and then you're gonna sigh a little

and maybe even cry a little

but one of these days, you're gonna love me

now everybody stands up

the congregation sings

it's a song of sweet forgiveness

and as the chorus rings

the wind blows clear my memory

the pages start to turn

and suddenly i'm singing

the moment that i learn

one of these days i'm gonna love me

and feel the joy of sweet release

one of these days i'll rise above me

and at last i'll find some peace

and then i'm gonna smile a little

and maybe even laugh a little

but one of these days...

i'm gonna love me
