[Verse 1]
Yeah, your hair has gotten longer
Haven't seen you since October
You look a little older
A little wiser for the wear
Yeah, the bags under your eyes
That kept you up every night
When I look between the lines
I will find you there

[Chorus]
One of these days
One of these days you'll settle down
Head back to your home town and make amends
One of these days
One of these days you'll have to learn
A bridge don't have to burn to get ahead
One of these days you'll come around
One of these days you'll settle down

[Verse 2]
I watch you stumble by
Playing catch-up with your life
The timing's never right
You look like a ghost
You look like you have been
There and back again
We used to be good friends
But the chase gets old
[Chorus]
One of these days
One of these days you'll settle down
Head back to your home town and make amends
One of these days
One of these days you'll have to learn
A bridge don't have to burn to get ahead
One of these days you'll come around
One of these days you'll settle down

[Bridge]
A tumbleweed is gonna tumble
Everyone has a struggle
But one of these days you'll get your head on straight
Hope it's not too late

[Chorus]
One of these days
One of these days you'll settle down
Head back to your home town and make amends
One of these days
One of these days you'll have to learn
A bridge don't have to burn to get ahead
One of these days you'll come around
One of these days you'll come around
One of these days you'll come around
One of these days you'll settle down
