You know I just can’t lose for winning
Still can’t answer why
Do I deserve the life I’m livin’
One of these days I’m goin’ to try
You know when pennies fall from heaven
I got my pockets open wide
Will I ever be forgiven
One of these days I’m goin’ to try
Laid my wares down on the table
Put some money on your smile
Should I laugh if I am able
One of these days I’m goin’ to try
One of these days when the sun is falling
And the night tears through the sky
You will be among the stars and calling
For me to come on high
Slip your arm through my crooked elbow
Stroll beneath these clear blue skies
Will I ever really know you
One of these days I’m goin’ to try
Raise my hands up to the heavens
Let the rain begin to sigh
Can I hold onto this blessing
One of these days I’m goin’ to try
There ain’t nothing lasts forever
But I feel like I could fly
Can I take you home sweet treasure
One of these days I’m goin’ to try
