One Of These Days Lyrics - Tim McGraw

1 Used to chase that boy home from school

2 Called him freckled-face, red-headed fool

3 He was different; he wasn't cool like me

4 Sticks and stones didn't break any bones

5 But we never left well enough alone

6 And one day he ran away from home, you see

7 And I passed him as he walked away

8 And in his eyes I heard him say

9 "One of these days you're gonna love me

10 You'll sit down by yourself and think

11 About the times you pushed and shoved me

12 And what good friends we might've been

13 And then you're gonna sigh a little

14 Maybe even cry a little but

15 One of these days you're gonna love me"

16 Patty Sue was a small town beauty

17 I took one look at her and had to pull her to me

18 Lord knows she should've seen right through me

19 When I promised her the world

20 But at 17, you only want one thing

21 I left her standin' with my high school ring

22 Innocent tears in a pourin' rain

23 As I walked away

24 And I still see her in my dreams

25 And to this day she's whispering

26 "One of these days you're gonna love me

27 You'll sit down by yourself and think

28 About the time you turned from me

29 And what good friends we might've been

30 And then you're gonna sigh a little

31 And maybe even cry a little but

32 One of these days you're gonna love me"

33 Now everybody stands up

34 The congregation sings

35 It's a song of sweet forgiveness

36 And as the chorus rings

37 The wind blows clear my memory

38 The pages start to turn

39 Then suddenly I'm singin'

40 The moment that I learn

41 One of these days I'm gonna love me

42 And feel the joy of sweet release

43 One of these days, I'll rise above me

44 And at last I'll find some peace

45 Then I'm gonna smile a little

46 And maybe even laugh a little but

47 One of these days I'm gonna love me
