Lyrics Emmylou Harris

Emmylou Harris

One of These Days

I won't have to chop no wood

I can be bad or I can be good

I can be any way that I feel

One of these days

Might be a woman that's dressed in black

Be a hobo by the railroad track

I'll be gone like the wayward wind

One of these days

One of these days it will soon

Be all over cut and dry

And I won't have this urge

To go all bottled up inside

One of these days I'll look back

And I'll say I left in time

'Cause somewhere for me

I know there's peace of mind

I might someday walk across this land

Carrying the Lord's book in my hand

Goin' across the country singin' loud as I can

One of these days

But I won't have trouble on my back

Cuttin' like the Devil with a choppin' axe

Got to shake it off my back

One of these days

One of these days it will soon

Be all over cut and dry

And I won't have this urge

To go all bottled up inside

One of these days I'll look back

And I'll say I left in time

'Cause somewhere for me

I know there's peace of mind

There's gonna be peace of mind for me

One of these days
