[Chorus] We’ll get ahead someday we’ll get ahead someday When the sun comes up and we both cuts down we’ll get ahead someday Well I get up early work hard all day listen to the troubles of my friends But I don’t realize till I get home whan 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 cuts 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 just spend too much money on wine Well I’LL 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 cuts down we’ll get ahead someday If the sun comes up and we both cuts down we’ll get ahead someday
