One of These Days |
If I had a dime for every time I heard my old man say |
One of these days |
I wouldn’t be like my old man today |
Talking bout places that he’d been |
Back in his younger days that he was gonna go back to again |
One of these days |
Dropped out of school when he was just sixteen |
Fell right in to a tire plant |
Building the very things that make the asphalt sing |
And put Alabama far behind you |
I remember him saying that Chicago was a hell right here on earth |
And twenty five years later I was saying the same thing about Memphis |
It’s no wonder everybodies scared of downtown Birmingham |
It’s just a little too close to home |
But there’s more crooks down here and the cops don’t care |
While old white men wearing ties can do anything they want |
Once a country boy’s seen the way the steam rises |
Off a man’s insides on the sidewalk |
Tends to change the way he thinks, the way he sees everything |
And he goes back to where he came from |
One of these days when my face looks like a roadmap gonna find my way back home |
And i’ll go walking on the west side after dark and leave my gun locked in my |
car |
One of these days you’ll take one look at me and run. |
One of these days you’ll |
take |
One look at me and run |
