Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're gonna miss me
Early in the mornin'
One of these days oh, yeah

Well, you're gonna want me
Early in the mornin'
When I'm away don't ya know
Yes you'll be sorry
For the times I cried
You'll be sorry
For the time you lied

Well you're gonna miss me
Early in the mornin'
One of these days whoa, yeah

Well ya know a rollin' stone
Don't gather no moss
And you cross your bridge
When it's time to cross.

Well you broke my heart
When you said goodbye
Now the milk is spilt
But you're gonna cry.

Yeah early in the mornin'
You're gonna know
That I was right oh, yeah yeah

Well early in the mornin'
When there's nobody
To hold you tight oh, oh

Well you're gonna want me
Want me bad
You're gonna miss
The best man you ever had
Yes you're gonna miss me
You're gonna want me
One of these days.

Whoa, don't ya know yeah

You're gonna want me
One of these days oh, yeah
