Wills mark one of these days lyrics

(Jeff Stevens/Tim Nichols)

 

 She worked in a laundry pressin' shirts and pants

 Eight hours a day at that iron she'd stand

 'Bout every thirty minutes somebody said

 Man, it's hot in here

 She tied up her hair but she wouldn't cut it off

 'Cause Robbie Lee likes it better when it's lone

 And at night they'd meet at the cold spot

 And drink some beer

 And every mornin' when she'd clock in she'd say

 

 One of these days, I'm getting out of here

 Yeah one of these days, 'cause I'm too good for this place

 Now I don't mean that like it sounds

 But I'm not gonna be held down

 Things are gonna change

 One of these days

 

 One Friday she said, That's it, I'm quittin'

 We all thought that she was just kidding'

 When we came back from lunch she didn't

 And that was it

 Somebody said they'd seen her downtown

 Bags all packed steppin' on a Greyhound

 Robbie Lee watchin' his world come down around him

 I can't count the times I heard her say

 

 One of these days, I'm getting out of here

 Yeah one of these days, 'cause I'm too good for this place

 Now I don't mean that like it sounds

 But I'm not gonna be held down

 Things are gonna change

 One of these days

 

 That girl wasn't nobody's fool

 Bet she's workin' somewhere cool

 And I'm startin' to think

 

 One of these days, I'm getting out of here

 Yeah one of these days, 'cause I'm too good for this place

 Now I don't mean that like it sounds

 But I'm not gonna be held down

 Things are gonna change

 One of these days

 

 Yeah one of these days

 Yeah, one of these days
