Well I won't have to chop no wood I can be bad or I can be good I can be any way that I feel One of these days Might be a woman that's dressed in black Be a hobo by the railroad track I'll be gone like the wayward wind one of these days One of these days it will soon be all over cut and dry And I won't have this urge to go all bottled up inside One of these days I'll look back and I'll say I left in time 'Cause somewhere for me I know there's peace of mind I might someday walk across this land Carrying the Lord's book in my hand Goin' cross the country singin' loud as I can One of these days But I won't have trouble on my back Cuttin' like the devil with a choppin' axe, Got to shake it off my back, one of these days One of these days it will soon be all over cut and dry And I won't have this urge to go all bottled up inside One of these days I'll look back and I'll say I left in time 'Cause somewhere for me I know there's peace of mind There's gonna be peace of mind for me, one of these days
