Some Day I`ll Get Out Lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker



As I walked into a run down bar

The sign said a one man band

He was sittin' on top of a bar stool

A guitar held in his hand

And the lines he was singing 'bout a memory ringin'

I heard this old broken down star

Singing women and whiskey you know they will get you

Some day I'll get out of these bars



Chorus:

Some day I'll get out Some day I'll get out

Won't fight no more honky tonk wars

I'll find a song, and it won't take too long

Until I get out of these bars



Well I sat there drinking and dreaming and thinking

Of a time not too long ago

With those bars all around me, and those grey walls that bound me

And the years that went by too slow

And the songs that I sang to the blue sky above me

As I walked in that big prison yard

Singing women and whiskey you know they will get you

Some day I'll get out of these bars



Chorus



Well I paid for my drink and walked over to where

He was singing his lonesome song

I said we're a lot a like guitar man you and I

But your sentence is way too long

"Some day I'll get out" he began to shout

As I walked toward that open bar door

I'll find a song, and it won't take too long

Until I get out of these bars



Chorus
