I'm Gonna Change My Ways Lyrics

One, two, three, four

Well, I started out 'neath the spring
And smoke down a gravel road where the gate was broke
I reached her house, saw the golden glow
The hearthstone fire all lined with coal
I said, I'm gonna change my ways

Couples were dancing by the jukebox light
Cops were out front sipping c**es uptight
She smiled at me, said, ‽Honey, come on in
Sit right here, won't you hold my hand”

I said, I, I'm gonna change my ways
Yeah, said, I'm gonna change my ways
Oh, I think I'm gonna change my ways
Yeah, I'm gonna change my ways
One of these days, oh yeah, alright
Saw a blackbird fly with red tip wings
Soaring above the penitentiary
In the northern lights but the sky was blind
Confusion sounds for a troubled mind

Said, I'm gonna change my ways
Yeah, I, oh, one of these days
Alright, come on now, hey

Yeah, by the rescue mission and the Goodyear blimp
Spied a one arm man walking with a limp
I got another chance then I blew it to bits
I made a new start by calling it quits
I said, I could've changed my ways
Yeah, I said, I'm gonna change my ways
Yeah, said I, oh, one of these days

Yeah, I'm gonna change the way I shuffle the cards
Change the angles I play when I'm crossing the yard
Gonna change my ways, I'm losing control
I'm starting over with a brand new soul

I said, I'm, yeah, change my ways
Yeah, I'm gonna change
Oh, one of these days, one of these days
One of these days, one of these days
