Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
I might someday walk across this land
Carryin' the Lord's book in my hand
Goin' 'cross the country, singin' loud as I can
One of these days
[Verse 5]
But I won't have trouble on my back
Cuttin' like the Devil with a choppin' axe
Got to shake him off of my back
One of these days
[Verse 6]
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
