Maybe Someday

[Verse 1]

Maybe someday you’ll be satisfied

When you’ve lost everything you’ll have nothing left to hide

When you’re through running over things like you’re walking ’across the tracks

Maybe you’ll beg me to take you back

Maybe someday you’ll find out everybody’s somebody’s fool

Maybe then you’ll realize what it would have taken to keep me cool

Maybe someday when you’re by yourself alone

You’ll know the love that I had for you have been never my own

[Verse 2]

Maybe someday you’ll have nowhere to turn

You’ll look back and wonder ’bout the bridges you have burned

You’ll look back sometime when the lights grow dim

And you’ll see you look much better with me than you do with him

Through hostile cities and unfriendly towns

Thirty pieces of silver, no money down

Maybe someday, you will understand

That something for nothing is everybody’s plan

[Verse 3]

Maybe someday you’ll remember what you felt

When there was blood on the moon in the cotton belt

When both of us, baby, we're going through some sort of a test

Neither one of us could do what we do best

I should have known better, baby, I should have called your bluff

I guess I was too off the handle, not sentimental enough

Maybe someday, you’ll believe me when I say

That I wanted you, baby, in every kind of way

[Verse 4]

Maybe someday you’ll hear a voice from on high

Saying’, “For whose sake did you live, for whose sake did you die?”

Forgive me, baby, for what I didn’t do

For not breaking down no bedroom door to get at you

Always was a sucker for the right cross

Never wanted to go home ’till the last cent was lost

Maybe someday you will look back and see

That I made it so easy for you to follow me

[Verse 5]

Maybe someday there’ll be nothing to tell

I’m just as happy as you, baby, I just can’t say it so well

Never slumbered or slept or waited for lightning to strike

There’s no excuse for you to say that we don’t think alike

You said you were going’ to Frisco, stay a couple of months

I always like San Francisco, I was there for a party once

Maybe someday you’ll see that it’s true

There was no greater love than what I had for you
