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
|

Some Day I'll Get Out
