(jeff stevens/tim nichols)
She worked in a laundry pressin shirts and pants
Eight hours a day at that iron shed stand
bout every thirty minutes somebody said
Man, its hot in here
She tied up her hair but she wouldnt cut it off
cause robbie lee likes it better when its lone
And at night theyd meet at the cold spot
And drink some beer
And every mornin when shed clock in shed say
One of these days, Im getting out of here
Yeah one of these days, cause Im too good for this place
Now I dont mean that like it sounds
But Im not gonna be held down
Things are gonna change
One of these days
One friday she said, thats it, Im quittin
We all thought that she was just kidding
When we came back from lunch she didnt
And that was it
Somebody said theyd seen her downtown
Bags all packed steppin on a greyhound
Robbie lee watchin his world come down around him
I cant count the times I heard her say
One of these days, Im getting out of here
Yeah one of these days, cause Im too good for this place
Now I dont mean that like it sounds
But Im not gonna be held down
Things are gonna change
One of these days
That girl wasnt nobodys fool
Bet shes workin somewhere cool
And Im startin to think
One of these days, Im getting out of here
Yeah one of these days, cause Im too good for this place
Now I dont mean that like it sounds
But Im not gonna be held down
Things are gonna change
One of these days
Yeah one of these days
Yeah, one of these days
