One Of These Days — текст песни (Tim McGraw)

We used to chase that boy home from school

We called him freckle faced red headed fool

He was different, he wasn`t cool like me

Sticks and stones didn`t break any bones

But we never left well enough alone

One day he ran away from home you see

And I passed him as he walked away

And in his eyes I heard him say



One of these days you`re gonna love me

You`ll sit down by yourself and think

Of all the times you pushed and shoved me

And what good friends we might have been

And then you`re gonna sigh a little

And maybe even cry a little

But one of these days you`re gonna love me



Patty Sue was a small town beauty

I took one look at her and had to pull her to me

Lord knows she should have seen right through me

When I promised her the world

But at 17 you only want one thing

I left her standing with my high school ring

Innocent tears in a pourin` rain

As I walked away

And I still see her in my dreams

And to this day she`s whispering



One of these days you`re gonna love me

You`ll sit down by yourself and think

About the time you turned from me

And what good friends we might have been

And then you`re gonna sigh a little

And maybe even cry a little

But one of these days, you`re gonna love me



Now everybody stands up

The congregation sings

It`s a song of sweet forgiveness

And as the chorus rings

The wind blows clear my memory

The pages start to turn

And suddenly I`m singing

The moment that I learn



One of these days I`m gonna love me

And feel the joy of sweet release

One of these days I`ll rise above me

And at last I`ll find some peace

And then I`m gonna smile a little

And maybe even laugh a little

But one of these days...

I`m gonna love me
