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 daysMight 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 daysOne 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 daysBut 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 mindThere's gonna be peace of mind for me, one of these days
