Tim McGraw – One of These Days We used to chase that boy home from school We called him freckle faced red headed fool He was different, he wasn't cool like me Sticks and stones didn't break any bones But we never left well enough alone 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 'Bout all the times you pushed and shoved me And what good friends we might have been And then you're gonna sigh a little And 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 have seen right through me When I promised her the world But at 17 you only want one thing I left her standing with my high school ring Innocent tears in a 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 have been And then you're gonna sigh a little And 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 And suddenly I'm singing 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 And then I'm gonna smile a little And maybe even laugh a little But one of these days... I'm gonna love me
