One day I swear
I'll buy my mother a pair
Of pink Cadillacs (repeat).
Shaking my shit in a
Beale Street outfit
I ain't looking back.
One day I bet
There's a woman I haven't met
Who'll spin my head round (repeat).
Let it be me,
Love me tenderly, I'm like a stranger
In my home town.
One day baby girl
My precious pearl
I'll take you to Tennessee (repeat).
Sweet as can be
I guarantee that you're
A real princess to me.
One day I fear
The devil's drawing near
To claim what he's sown.
Yes, one day too soon
Come the end of the tune
The dice have been thrown.
All I hold dear
Darlin' don't shed a tear
Salvation is clear
And I'll never leave you alone.
