[Verse 1]
I don't want to get by, getting by don't do the trick for me
'Cause I could get free doing things a little differently
I don't want to get made, getting made ain't making much of me
I already got it all and it's all I need

[Chorus]
All these things I know are true
Don't want to share them with no one but you
So take my picture while I'm young
'Cause one of these days I'll ride into the sun

[Verse 2]
I don't want to do good, doing good ain't good enough for me
I want to be a shining star every one can see
I don't want to go down unless it's down in history
And years from now you will remember me

[Chorus]
All these things I know are true
Don't want to share them with no one but you
So take my picture while I'm young
'Cause one of these days I'll ride into the sun

[Bridge]
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
[Chorus]
All these things I know are true
Don't want to share them with no one but you
So take my picture while I'm young
'Cause one of these days I'll ride into the sun
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
Yeah
