One of these days I`ve got to get things right
I`m gonna do my business in th` daylight
One of these days you know I`ve got to get things right
I`m gonna do my business out in the broad daylight
One of these days I`ve got to get things straight
I`m gonna stop acting like a reprobate
One of these days you know I`ve got to get things straight
I`m gonna stop staying out late
And acting like a reprobate
One of these days I`ve got to get in step
It won`t be long `fore I`ll be needin` help
One of these days you know I`ve got to get in step
The way I`m going baby I`ll be needin` help
One of these days I`ve got to go back home
Sit out on my front porch and compose a poem
One of these days you know I`ve got to go back home
I`m gonna sit out on my front porch, rock away compose a poem
