ONE OF THESE DAYS
Tim McGraw
We used to chase that boy home from school,
We called him freckled 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 by,
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 seventeen you only want one thing,
I left her standing with my highschool ring.
Innocent tears in a fallin' 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 stand up,
The congregation sings,
It's a song of sweet forgivness,
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...
