[Verse 1]
 C                    Am
Someday, I’ll make it there, I swear
         G                              F
To that place that haunts my dreams at night
         C                     Am
Singing heavenly highway hymns all the way up
          G                 F
To that beautiful old countryside
  C                   Am
Someday, I’ll find the words to explain
         G                               F
All the good times that echo through my mind
      C                      Am
Your grin in the morning’s a warm southern sun
            G                           F
Or seeing double when those chemicals align

           C                           Am
Just some kids who needed love, using laughter as their drug
        G                          F
Doing their best to tow that hard line
  C             Am
Someday, I will lie under blue skies
      G                            F
In a hay field that holds me like home
     C                        Am
And I’ll ask forgiveness with God as my witness
       G                   F
For straying so far on my own
 
[Chorus]
F   C        Am            G
Today, I’ll hold my head up high
         F   C         Am            G
Knowing someday, comes one day at a time
F   C            Am                  G
Today, there’s a sun setting soon as supper’s warm
F   C           Am            G
Today, I’ve got someday on my mind
 
[Instrumental]
C   Am   G   F

[Verse 2]
 C                 Am                          G
Someday, I’ll call up my old friends and we’ll catch up
               F
With too many beers
 C                      Am
Pull an all-nighter, sitting around fire
         G                     F
For the first time in so many years
 C      Am   G   F
Someday……………
 
 C              Am                       G                   F
Someday, I will come to my senses, stop sitting on fences in fear
    C               Am                               G                         F
And I will realize, after all of this time that some day was always just right here
 
[Chorus]
F   C       Am              G
Today, I’ll hold my head up high
         F    C           Am                 G
Knowing some day has been here the whole damn time
           F                  C
There’s a sun set setting, I ain’t forgetting
    Am                       G
The blood that made my heart warm
F   C              Am               G
Today, I found what I was searching for
 
[Instrumental]
C   Am   G   F
………………
C   Am   G   F
………………
 
[Verse 3]
  C             Am
Someday, I will send you a postcard
          G                          F
From the place that I’m smiling tonight
        C                     Am
I sang heavenly highway hymns all the way up
          G                    F
To this beautiful warm countryside
 
[Outro]
C   Am   G   F
