[Verse 1]
One of these days
I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter
To all the good friends I've known
And I'm going to try
And thank them all for the good times together
Though so apart we've grown

[Chorus]
One of these days
I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter
To all the good friends I've known
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days

[Verse 2]
I'm going to thank
That old country fiddler
And all those rough boys
Who play that rock and roll
I never try to burn any bridges
But I know I let some good things go

[Chorus]
One of thеse days
I'm gonna sit down and write a long lettеr
To all the good friends I've known
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
[Verse 3]
From down in L.A.
All the way to Nashville
New York City
To my Canadian prairie home
My friends are scattered
Like leaves from an old maple
Some are weak, some are strong

[Chorus]
One of these days
I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter
To all the good friends I've known
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days

[Outro]
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
It won't be long
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
It won't be long
No, it won't be long
One of these days
