One Of These Days |
She worked in a laundry pressin' shirts and pants |
Eight hours a day at that iron she’d stand |
'Bout every thirty minutes somebody said |
Man, it’s hot in here |
She tied up her hair but she wouldn’t cut it off |
'Cause Robbie Lee likes it better when it’s lone |
And at night they’d meet at the cold spot |
And drink some beer |
And every mornin' when she’d clock in she’d say |
One of these days, I’m getting out of here |
Yeah one of these days, 'cause I’m too good for this place |
Now I don’t mean that like it sounds |
But I’m not gonna be held down |
Things are gonna change |
One of these days |
One Friday she said, That’s it, I’m quittin' |
We all thought that she was just kidding' |
When we came back from lunch she didn’t |
And that was it |
Somebody said they’d seen her downtown |
Bags all packed steppin' on a Greyhound |
Robbie Lee watchin' his world come down around him |
I can’t count the times I heard her say |
One of these days, I’m getting out of here |
Yeah one of these days, 'cause I’m too good for this place |
Now I don’t mean that like it sounds |
But I’m not gonna be held down |
Things are gonna change |
One of these days |
That girl wasn’t nobody’s fool |
Bet she’s workin' somewhere cool |
And I’m startin' to think |
One of these days, I’m getting out of here |
Yeah one of these days, 'cause I’m too good for this place |
Now I don’t mean that like it sounds |
But I’m not gonna be held down |
Things are gonna change |
One of these days |
Yeah one of these days |
Yeah, one of these days |
