(Mack Magaha)We'll get ahead someday
We'll get ahead someday
If the sun comes up and we're both cut down
We'll get ahead someday.Well, I get up early, work hard all day
Listen to the troubles of my friends
But I did'nt realize till I get home
What an awful shape we're in.
The car's wore out, kids need shoes
Got a bill from a doctor today
The landlord said you'll get out tomorrow
If you don't get me some pay.We'll get ahead someday...
We'll get ahead someday
If the sun comes up and we're both cut down
We'll get ahead someday.--- Instrumental ---The paper says there's a sale downtown
I gotta have some money today
Well, there's things at home that ain't never been used
You bought last bargain day.Well, you go out one Saturday night
Just spend too much money on wine
Well, I work hard all week long
And I gotta have a little fun sometimes.
We'll get ahead someday
We'll get ahead someday
If the sun comes up and we're both cut down
We'll get ahead someday.If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down
We'll get ahead someday...
