Someday

Alan Jackson, Jim McBride

"Jim McBride brought this story idea to one of our writing sessions about
how everybody's probably said at one time or another to their spouse or
girlfriend, 'I'm going to do this someday,' or 'one of these days, I'm
gonna get around to doing that' but sometimes someday never comes.
That's what this song is about in relation to a couple in love."

She looked me in the eye and said it's over
I can't take this heartache anymore
She said don't tell me lies and try to please me
I've heard it all so many times before

(And) I took her by the arm and said don't leave me
There's nothin' in this world I wouldn't do
Just give me time I'll be the man you've needed
She said I wish that I could take that for the truth

(Chorus)

And I said someday
I'll get my life straight
And she said it's too late
What's done is done
And I told her someday
She said I can't wait
'Cause sometimes someday just never comes

She said all I've ever wanted was to love you
And somewhere deep inside me I still do
But now I think it's time I stopped believin'
'Cause I'm never gonna see a change in you

(Chorus)

(Oh) Sometimes someday just never comes
