We'll Get Ahead Someday
We'll get ahead someday
We'll get ahead someday
If the sun comes up and we both cut down
We'll get ahead someday
Well I get up early an' work hard all day
Listen to the troubles of my friends
But I don't realize 'til I get home
What an awful shape we're in
The car's wore out kids need shoes
Got a bill from a doctor today
The landlord said you'll get out tomorrow
If you don't get me some pay
We'll get ahead someday
We'll get ahead someday
If the sun comes up and we both cut down
We'll get ahead someday
The paper says there's a sale downtown
I gotta have some money today
Well there's things at home that's never been used
You bought last bargain day
Well you go out one Saturday night
To spend too much money on wine
Well I work hard all week long
And I gotta have a little fun sometimes
We'll get ahead someday
We'll get ahead someday
If the sun comes up and we both cut down
We'll get ahead someday
If the sun comes up and we both cut down
We'll get ahead someday
