One of these days

I'm going to sit down and write a long letter

To all the good friends

I've known

And I'm going to try

To thank them all for the good times together

Though so apart

We've grown



One of these days

I'm going to sit down and write a long letter

To all the good friend I've known

One of these days

One of these days

One of these days

And it won't be long

It won't be long



And I'm gonna thank

That old country fiddler

And all those ruff boys

Who play that rock and roll

I never tried

To burn any bridges

Though I know I let some

Good things go



One of these days

I'm going to sit down and write a long letter

To all the good friends I've known

One of these days

One of these days

One of these days

And it won't be long

It won't be long



From down in L.A.

All the way to Nashville

New York City

To my Canadian prairie home

My friends are scattered

Like leaves from an old maple

Some are weak

Some are strong



One of these days

I'm going to sit down and write a long letter

To all the good friends I've known

One of these days

One of these days

One of these days

And it won't be long

It won't be long



One of these days

One of these days

One of these days

And it won't be long

It won't be long
