[Verse 1]
Terry Adams rode the same bus as me
We mapped out our lives on Bluebird 3
He was gonna be a football star in spite of his family
He was only nineteen years old when he died in a head-on down at Shoal Creek

[Verse 2]
Jay Cobb was the best I'd ever saw
He could outrun the wind, you oughta seen him throw a ball
But he was struck down by an unknown disease
My friends lost their lives but I remember their dreams

[Chorus]
One of these days I'll fly to the moon
One of these days I'll have nothing to prove
One of these days I'll get out of this place
And I'll be somebody one of these days
One of these days

[Verse 3]
It's been a long time since I lost my friends
And I know I don't think enough of them
I'm just trying to get through
Living like I've got nothing to lose

[Verse 4]
Sometimes I feel 'em lookin' down on me
And I guess maybe it makes me feel a little bit guilty
And I wonder if I'll ever change my ways
Well, I'm sure I will
[Chorus]
One of these days I'll f‌ly to the moon
One of these days I'll have nothing to prove
One of these days I'll get out of this place
And I'll be somebody
One of these days I'll fly to the moon
One of these days I'll have nothing to prove
One of these days I'll get out of this place
And I'm gonna be somebody one of these days
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
