Tim Mcgraw - One Of These Days Lyrics

Used to chase that boy home from school
We called him frekled-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
And 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
About the times you pushed and shoved me
And what good friends we might`ve been
And then you`re gonna sigh a little
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`ve seen right through me
When I promised her the world
But at 17, you only want one thing
I left her standin` with my high school ring
Innocent tears in the 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`ve been
And then you`re gonna sigh a little
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
Then suddenly I`m singin`
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
Then I`m gonna smile a little
Maybe even laugh a little but
One of these days I`m gonna love me
