Jerry Jeff Walker - Some Day I'll Get Out lyrics

Jerry Jeff Walker As I walked into a run down bar The sign said a one man band He was sittin' on top of a bar stool A guitar held in his hand And the lines he was singing 'bout a memory ringin' I heard this old broken down star Singing women and whiskey you know they will get you Some day I'll get out of these bars Chorus: Some day I'll get out Some day I'll get out Won't fight no more honky tonk wars I'll find a song, and it won't take too long Until I get out of these bars Well I sat there drinking and dreaming and thinking Of a time not too long ago With those bars all around me, and those grey walls that bound me And the years that went by too slow And the songs that I sang to the blue sky above me As I walked in that big prison yard Singing women and whiskey you know they will get you Some day I'll get out of these bars Chorus Well I paid for my drink and walked over to where He was singing his lonesome song I said we're a lot a like guitar man you and I But your sentence is way too long "Some day I'll get out" he began to shout As I walked toward that open bar door I'll find a song, and it won't take too long Until I get out of these bars Chorus
