lyrics

Written by Mathhew Herschler and John Cruz

One of these days in my own front yard
I'm gonna sit on my porch and rock
Walk on by if you see me sitting there
Or you can stop and talk
One of these days

Some folks think that living is sleeping in the city
Bringing home buckets of cash
Others, we're happy just sitting back
Not thinking 'bout who's coming in last
Me I just don't know where all the bustle's gonna lead
Got a bunch of nothing happening fast
But there's one thing I know, whether we go fast or slow

One of these days in my own front yard
Gonna sit on my porch and rock
Walk on by if you see me sitting there
Or you can stop and talk
One of these days in my own front yard
Gonna sit on my porch and rock
Walk on by if you see me sitting there
Or you can stop and talk
One of these days

Some folks think that living is sleeping in the city
Bringing home buckets of cash
Others, we're happy just sitting back
Not thinking 'bout who's coming in last
Me I just don't know where all the bustle's gonna lead
Got a bunch of nothing happening fast
But there's one thing I know, whether we go fast or slow
One of these days

One of these days in my own front yard
Gonna sit on my porch and rock
Walk on by if you see me sitting there
Or you can stop and talk
One of these days
