To all the good friends I've known
One of these days
One of these days
I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter
One of these days
Though I know I let some good things go
One of these days
Some are weak, some are strong
To all the good friends I've known
All the way to Nashville
And all those rough boys who play that rock 'n' roll
And it won't be long, it won't be long
From down in L.A.
One of these days
New York City to my Canadian prairie home
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
I never tried
And it won't be long, it won't be long
One of these days
And I'm gonna thank
Like leaves from an old maple
To all the good friends I've known
One of these days
I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter
And it won't be long, it won't be long
I'm gonna sit down and write a long letter
To all the good friends I've known
And I'm gonna try
One of these days
One of these days
My friends are scattered
Though so apart we've grown
One of these days
One of these days
One of these days
To thank them all for the good times together
One of these days
To burn any bridges
One of these days
That old country fiddler
One of these days
And it won't be long, it won't be long
