Someday Man

The Monkees · Music Box [2008]

Some people always complain

That their life is too short so they hurry it along

Their worries drive them insane

But they still go along for the ride

As for me, I have all the time in the world

I was born a someday man

I'm a maybe child

I was born a someday man

I was always wild

Tomorrow's a new day, baby

Anything can happen

Anything can happen at all

Some folks are working for reasons

And waiting for answers they're never gonna find

They keep on searching for pleasures

And looking so hard they can't see

But for me, life can be a sweet holiday

I was born a someday man

I'm a maybe child

I was born a someday man

I was always wild

Tomorrow's a new day, baby

Anything can happen

Anything can happen at all

I was born a someday man

I'm a maybe child

I was born a someday man

I was always wild

I was born a someday man

I'm a maybe child

I was born a someday man

I was always wild
