One of these days you're gonna ask me to leave
From your front porch I'll roll up my sleeves
And show you the heart that I fought from the start
Before there ever was you and me
One of these days I'll be driving away
On a dirt road I'll make my escape
With my white flag held high
Throw my arms to the sky
Screaming about my mistakes
One of these days you'll be thinking about me
Seeing things that you never could see
How it always right there in your Autumn red hair
All I ever could need
One of these days I will fill up my bed
With the letters I never will send
You see the engine won't start when it's missing some parts
Dreaming of you in my head
One of these days you will call on my phone
And my mama will say I'm not home
While I'm in the next room with my heart full of gloom
No you never felt so alone
One of these days you and I won't see eye-to-eye
And one of these days you and I won't be side-by-side
One of these days I will finally
Know why the summer gives way to the snow
You gotta kill a few things to make it to spring
Where a new one can begin to grow
One of these days you'll be one day too late
