Someday Never Comes

1. First thing I remember was askin' papa, "Why?"
For there were many things I didn't know
And Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand
Sayin', "Someday you'll understand."

[Chorus:]
Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young
'Cause, "Someday" Never Comes."

2. Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust
For there were many things I didn't know
When Daddy went away, he said, "Try to be a man
And, Someday you'll understand.

3. And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there
For there were many things I didn't know
A son was born to me; Mama held his hand
Sayin' "Someday you'll understand."

4. Think it was September, the year I went away
For there were many things I didn't know
And I still see him standing, try'n' to be a man
I said, "Someday you'll understand."
