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

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
