I'm Gonna Change My Ways

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 cokes 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
