One Of These Days Lyrics - The Loving Kind - Nanci Griffith

We walk along the Hudson when it snows here in Manhattan 

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 

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' through 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 

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 

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 

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 

Yes, 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 

One of these days 

One of these days 

One of these days
