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 thats dressed in black Be a hobo by the railroad track Ill 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 Ill look back and Ill say I left in time Cause somewhere for me I know theres peace of mind I might someday walk across this land Carrying the lords 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 Ill look back and Ill say I left in time Cause somewhere for me I know theres peace of mind Theres gonna be peace of mind for me one of these days
