one of these days - roger whittaker lyrics

i remember the day my daddy lost his fortune
mother lost father then and i lost it all
remember running away i can still hear the door slam
i’m gonna make it myself and i’m not going to fall

riding the bus where we rode by the doorstep
where my girl was crying when we said our goodbyes
what about us was the question on her lips
i kissed away and she said something about the fire in my eye

one of these days i’m gonna go back a hero
the town will be buzzing with the news that i’m home
didn’t he do it right they’ll say and they’ll be smiling
and ain’t he the good young man his folks have brought along

up there in the city lord i tried to get it going
i don’t remember it taking all of the great ones so long
women were fine and the bars poured the whiskey
and friends and promises were all that got done

one of these days i’m gonna go back a hero
the town’ll be buzzing with the n ews that i’m home
didn’t he do it right they’ll say and they’ll be smiling
and ain’t he the good young man his folks have brought along

but after a while all the rain and the sunshine
and the seeds i’d been planting came to nothing that fits
home in the hills started looking good
and after all a man don’t know nothing
if he don’t know when to quit
one of these days i’m gonna go back and stay there
the town’ll be buzzing and i’ll buzz right along
didn’t i do it right? i’ll ask and they’ll be smiling saying
how long did you go son? i never knew you were gone
