One of these days and it won't be long
You're gonna look for me and I'll be gone
One of these days and it won't be long
You're gonna look for me and I'll be gone

One of these days and it won't be long
You're gonna look for me and I'll be gone
One of these days and it won't be long
You're gonna look for me and I'll be gone

I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'll be gone

One of these days and it won't be long
You're gonna look for me when I'm gone
When I'm gone
Said I'm gone

One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days

One of these days and it won't be long
You're gonna look for me when I'll be gone
When I'm gone
Said when I'm gone
When I'm gone
When I'm gone
Said when I'm gone
