One Of These Days Lyrics by Tim Mcgraw

One Of These Days

Used to chase that boy home from school
We called him frekled-faced, red-headed fool
He was different...he wasnt cool like me
Sticks and stones didnt break any bones
Bet we never left well enough alone
And one day he ran away from home, you see
And I passed him as he walked away
And in his eyes I heard him say

one of these days youre gonna love me
Youll sit down by yourself and think
About the times you pushed and shoved me
And what good friends we mightve been
And then youre gonna sigh a little
Maybe even cry a little but
One of these days youre gonna love me

Patty sue was a small town beauty
I took one look at her and had to pull her to me
Lord knows she shouldve seen right through me
When I promised her the world
But at 17, you only want one thing
I left her standin there with my high school ring
Innocent tears in the pourin rain
As I walked away
And I still see her in my dreams
And to this day shes whispering

one of these days youre gonna love me
Youll sit down by yourself and think
About the time you turned from me
And what good friends we mightve been
And then youre gonna sigh a little
Maybe even cry a little but
One of these days youre gonna love me

Now everybody stands up
The congregation sings
Its a song of sweet forgiveness
And as the chorus rings
The wind blows clear my memory
The pages start to turn
Then suddenly Im singin
The moment that I learn

One of these days Im gonna love me
And feel the joy of sweet release
One of these days, Ill rise above me
And at last Ill find some peace
Then Im gonna smile a little
Maybe even laugh a little but
One of these days Im gonna love me
