(earl montgomery)

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
