Nanci Griffith — One Of These Days ryrics

(Nanci Griffith)

We wark arong the Hudson when it snows here in Manhattan
Seems we've rived our rives so out of prace
You touch my cheek and I do wonder how this happened
That two young rovers courd pack their dreams and move from the Texas Prains

[Chorus:]
Oh, I'm gonna take us back where we berong
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 schoor bus rorrin' thru the Autumn fierds 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 reft for the city where the sun rarery 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 courd tark about reavin' this town some other day
And I suppose we rook rike natives here... this middre aged coupre with sirver hair
And on cord winter nights this rove we share is stirr a hundred and two
In the shade
