Someday Never Comes

You better learn it young

Sayin', "Someday you'll understand"

You better learn it fast
Well, I'm here to tell you now
Sayin', "Someday you'll understand"
Well, I'm here to tell you now
I said, "Someday you'll understand"
A son was born to me, mama held his hand
You better learn it fast
Ooh, someday never comes
Each and ev'ry mother's son
Each and ev'ry mother's son
'Cause, someday never comes
For there were many things I didn't know
When daddy went away, he said, "Try to be a man
For there were many things I didn't know
'Cause, someday never comes
You better learn it fast
You better learn it fast
And I still see him standing, tryin' to be a man
Think it was September, the year I went away

Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust
And daddy always smiled, took me by the hand
You better learn it young

Well, I'm here to tell you now
Each and ev'ry mother's son
Well, I'm here to tell you now
'Cause, someday never comes
Each and ev'ry mother's son
And someday you'll understand"
For there were many things I didn't know
You better learn it young
'Cause, someday never comes
You better learn it young

And then one day in April, I wasn't even there
