I'LL GET AHEAD SOMEDAY
Writer Mack Magaha
I'll get ahead someday I'll get ahead someday
If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down I'll get ahead someday
Well I get up early work hard all day listen to the troubles of my friends
But I don't realize till I get home what an awful shape I'm in
The car's wore out kids need shoes got a bill from doctor today
And the landlord said you'll get out tomorrow if you don't get me some pay
But I'll get ahead someday...
All I can hear there's a sale downtown I gotta have some money today
But there's things at home that's never been used you bought last bargain day
Well I tell hurt we'll have to cut down here is what you said
What's mine is mine what's yours is mine that's how I got this mess
But I'll get ahead someday...
If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down I'll get ahead someday
