Earl Montgomery

Well 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 that's dressed in black
Be a hobo by the railroad track
I'll 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 I'll look back
and I'll say I left in time
'Cause somewhere for me I know
there's peace of mind

I might someday walk across this land
Carrying the Lord's 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 I'll look back
and I'll say I left in time
'Cause somewhere for me I know
there's peace of mind

There's gonna be peace of mind for me,
one of these days
Written by Earl Montgomery, sung very well by Emmylou Harris.
