One of These Mornings
Rick Nelson · Rick Nelson Box Set [Legacy] [2000]
Well one of these morning's I'm gonna rise an' shine
And get a one way ticket, I'm gonna leave behind
All of my troubles and misery
I'm gonna find me a gal that's gonna love me, oh yeah.
I wanna be their soon
Making love to some sweet gal by the light of the moon
If you wanna go with me, then you better be packed
Leavin' one of these mornings, on a one way track.
There'll be singin' and dancin' and sweet romancin'
Huggin' and a kissin', that's what I've been missin'
From my baby who found someone new
I done told my gal what I'm gonna do.
I'm gonna leave on a one way track
Yes one of these mornings and I can't comin' back
Come along and go with me, but you can't be late
'Cause one of these mornings that train won't wait...

This recording captures that unique synthesis, offering a moment of quiet reflection within a broader catalogue known for its dynamic range. The song remains a testament to Nelson's enduring influence on American music, demonstrating his capacity to craft memorable melodies that resonate with listeners decades after their initial release.
