One Of These Days
Nanci Griffith

We walk along the Hudson when it snows here in Manhattan

Seems we've lived our lives so out of place

You touch my cheek and I do wonder how this happened

That two young lovers could pack their dreams and move from the Texas Plains


[Chorus:]

Oh, I'm gonna take us back where we belong

Where you can see it in the stars that the weather's comin' on

One of these days


Now, our Daddy's grew cotton... Spittin' dust of a mornin'

We met on a school bus rollin' thru the Autumn fields our Daddy's raised

Beneath a hot August sky... Our Mothers waved goodbye

My Daddy tipped his hat with a tear in his eye

When we left for the city where the sun rarely shines

It was a hundred and two in the shade


[Chorus:]


Hey, do you wanna take a cab uptown?... Watch the skaters go

'round and around

We could talk about leavin' this town some other day

And I suppose we look like natives here... This middle aged couple with silver hair

And on cold winter nights this love we share is still a hundred and two

In the shade
