One Of These Days

Drive-By Truckers

ALBUM: Pizza Deliverence

Tune down 1/2 step

INTRO: C,G,D,Em x2

VERSE:

C G D Em

If I had a dime for every time I heard my old man say

C G

One of these days

G D Em

I wouldn't be like my old man today

C G D

Talking bout places that he'd been

Em C G

Back in his younger days that he was gonna go back to again

D Em

One of these days

VERSE:

Dropped out of school when he was just sixteen

Fell right in to a tire plant

Building the very things that make the asphalt sing

And put Alabama far behind you

I remember him saying that Chicago was a hell right here on earth

And twenty five years later I was saying the same thing about Memphis

VERSE:

It's no wonder everybodies scared of downtown Birmingham

It's just a little too close to home

But there's more crooks down here and the cops don't care,

While old white men wearing ties can do anything they want.

Once a country boy's seen the way the steam rises

Off a man's insides on the sidewalk

Tends to change the way he thinks, the way he sees everything

And he goes back to where he came from

BREAK:C,G,D,Em x3 C,G,D

CHORUS:

G D C G

One of these days when my face looks like a roadmap

G/F Em D C

Gonna find my way back home

G D C G

And I'll go walking on the west side after dark

G/F Em D C

And leave my gun locked in my car

C D Em

One of these days you'll take one look at me and run

C D Em

One of these days you'll take one look at me and run

OUTRO:C,G,D,Em x3 C,G,D,G
