I'll Get Ahead Someday

I'll get ahead someday I'll get ahead someday
If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down
I'll get ahead someday

Well I get up early work hard all day listen to the troubles of my friends
But I don't realize till I get home what an awful shape I'm in
Well my car's in the shop my shoes wore out got a bill from doctor today
And the landlord said you'll get out tomorrow if you don't get me some pay

But I'll get ahead someday I'll get ahead someday...

All I can hear there's a sale downtown gotta have some money today
But there's things at home that's never been used she bought last bargain day
Well I tell hurt we'll have to cut down here is what you said
What's mine is mine what's yours is mine that's how I got this mess

But I'll get ahead someday I'll get ahead someday...

If the sun comes up and my wife cuts down
I'll get ahead someday
