Lyrics for Song: One Of These Days
Lyrics for Album: The Loving Kind [2009]



We walk along the Hudson when it snows here in Manhattan

We've lived our lives so out of place

You touch my cheek and I do wonder how this happened

That two young lovers could pack their dreams

And move from the Texas Plains



Oh, I'm gonna take us back where we belong

Where you can see it in the stars that the weather's comin' on

One of these days



Now, our Daddy's grew cotton spittin' dust of a mornin'

We met on a school bus rollin' through the Autumn fields our Daddy's raised

Beneath a hot August sky our Mothers waved goodbye

My Daddy tipped his hat with a tear in his eye

When we left for the city where the sun rarely shines

It was a hundred and two in the shade



Oh, I'm gonna take us back where we belong

Where you can see it in the stars that the weather's comin' on

One of these days



Hey, do you wanna take a cab uptown?

Watch the skaters go 'round and around

We could talk about leavin' this town

Some other day



And I suppose we look like natives here

This middle aged couple with silver hair

And on cold winter nights this love we share

Is still a hundred and two in the shade



Oh, I'm gonna take us back where we belong

Where you can see it in the stars that the weather's comin' on

One of these days



Yes, I'm gonna take us back where we belong

Where you can see it in the stars that the weather's comin' on

One of these days



One of these days

One of these days

One of these days
