Someday Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rommel wore a ring on his finger
He only took it off when he flew his plane
Once he told me why
He said we all have to fly someday
We all have to fly
Someday

[Verse 2]
TV preacher can't be bothered ("Praise the Lord! Praise and pay!")
With those petty things ("Praise the Lord! Praise and pay!")
He stays a step removed ("Praise the Lord! Praise and pay!")
So they say ("Praise the Lord! Praise and pay!")
He's pipin' music in ("Praise and pay!")
We all have to sin someday
We all have to sin
Someday

[Verse 3]
Workin' on that great Alaska pipeline
Many men were lost in the pipe
They went to fuelin' cars
Now smog might turn to stars someday
Smog might turn to stars
Someday
[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 4]
Hold me baby, put your arms around me
Give me all the love you have to give
Tomorrow won't be late
We won't have to wait someday
We won't have to wait
Someday

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
