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
