Pay the Road

[Chorus]

Well, one of these days

Gonna pay the road

Yeah, one of these days

Gonna run for fun

Yeah, one of these days when you're all alone

Out back wishing for the grass to grow

Oh yeah, one of these days

Gonna run for fun

Yeah, one of these days

Gonna settle down

Yeah, when the cops ain't catching

And the boys ain't jumping

Lord, you gonna wish your heart was thumping

[Bridge]

Yeah, but the air keeps saying that the water keeps bringing

No troubles in life

No girls worth keeping

Yeah, and everybody's wishing

Nobody's praying

And the troubles in life are not worth saying, no

[Chorus]

Yeah, well, one of these days

Gonna pay the road

Yeah, one of these days

Gonna run for fun

Yeah, one of these days when you're all alone

Out back wishing for the grass to grow, oh

Yeah, one of these days

Gonna pay the road

Oh, one of these days

I'm gonna run for fun

One of these days when you're all alone

Out back wishing for the grass to grow

[Coda]

Oh yeah, one of these days when you're all alone

You're gonna wish your grass would grow

Yeah, one of these days with your eyes wide open

You're gonna see your coffin closin'
