One Of These Days Lyrics

We walk along the Hudson when it snows here in Manhattan<br />
We've lived our lives so out of place<br />
You touch my cheek and I do wonder how this happened<br />
That two young lovers could pack their dreams<br />
And move from the Texas Plains<br />
<br />
Oh, I'm gonna take us back where we belong<br />
Where you can see it in the stars that the weather's comin' on<br />
One of these days<br />
<br />
Now, our Daddy's grew cotton spittin' dust of a mornin'<br />
We met on a school bus rollin' through the Autumn fields our Daddy's raised<br />
Beneath a hot August sky our Mothers waved goodbye<br />
My Daddy tipped his hat with a tear in his eye<br />
When we left for the city where the sun rarely shines<br />
It was a hundred and two in the shade<br />
<br />
Oh, I'm gonna take us back where we belong<br />
Where you can see it in the stars that the weather's comin' on<br />
One of these days<br />
<br />
Hey, do you wanna take a cab uptown?<br />

Watch the skaters go 'round and around<br />
We could talk about leavin' this town<br />
Some other day<br />
<br />
And I suppose we look like natives here<br />
This middle aged couple with silver hair<br />
And on cold winter nights this love we share<br />
Is still a hundred and two in the shade<br />
<br />
Oh, I'm gonna take us back where we belong<br />
Where you can see it in the stars that the weather's comin' on<br />
One of these days<br />
<br />
Yes, I'm gonna take us back where we belong<br />
Where you can see it in the stars that the weather's comin' on<br />
One of these days<br />
<br />
One of these days<br />
One of these days<br />
One of these days

We walk along the Hudson when it snows here in Manhattan<br />
We've lived our lives so out of place<br />
You touch my cheek and I do wonder how this happened<br />
