Peter Case - I'm Gonna Change My Ways lyrics

Case 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
