Porter Wagoner - I'll Get Ahead Someday lyrics

I'LL GET AHEAD SOMEDAY

Writer Mack Magaha

I'll get ahead someday I'll get ahead someday

If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down I'll get ahead someday

Well I get up early work hard all day listen to the troubles of my friends

But I don't realize till I get home what an awful shape I'm in

The car's wore out kids need shoes got a bill from doctor today

And the landlord said you'll get out tomorrow if you don't get me some pay

But I'll get ahead someday...

All I can hear there's a sale downtown I gotta have some money today

But there's things at home that's never been used you bought last bargain day

Well I tell hurt we'll have to cut down here is what you said

What's mine is mine what's yours is mine that's how I got this mess

But I'll get ahead someday...

If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down I'll get ahead someday
