Someday On My Mind

This song is for Maggie.

Someday, I’ll make it there, I swear, to that place that haunts my dreams at night,
Singing heavenly highway hymns all the way up to that beautiful old countryside,
Someday, I’ll find the words to explain all the good times that echo through my mind,
Your grin in the mornings, a warm southern sun, or seeing double when those chemicals align
Just some kids who needed love, using laughter as their drug, doing their best to tow that hard line,
Someday, I will lie under blue skies, in a hay field that holds me like home,
I’ll ask forgiveness with God as my witness for straying so far on my own,

Today, I will hold my head up high,
Knowing some day, comes one day at a time,
Today, there’s a sun setting soon as suppers warm,
Today, I’ve got someday on my mind,

Someday, I will call up my old friends and we’ll catch up with too many beers,
Pull an all-nighter, sitting around fire, for the first time in so many years,

Someday,

Someday, I will come to my senses, stop sitting on fences in fear,
And I will realize, after all of this time that some day was always just right here,

Today, I will hold my head up high, knowing some day has been here the whole damn time,
There’s a sun set setting, I ain’t forgetting, the blood that made my heart warm,
Today, I found what I was searching for,

Someday, I will send you a postcard from the place that I’m smiling tonight,
I sang heavenly highway hymns all the way up to this beautiful warm country side.
