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
