Someday Soon
(Ian Tyson)

   There's a young man that I know
   Whose age is twenty one
   He comes from down in southern Colorado
   Just out of the service, he's looking for his fun
   Someday soon, going with him, someday soon.

My parents cannot stand him
'cause he rides the rodeo
My father says that
He will leave me crying
I would follow him right down
The roughest road I know
Someday soon, going with him
Someday soon.

But when he comes to call
My Pa ain't got a good word to say
Guess it's 'cause he's just as wild
In his younger days

So blow you ol' blue norther
Blow my love to me
He's riding in tonight from California
He loves his damned ol' rodeo
As much as he loves me
Someday soon, going with him
Someday soon.
