    In a way it's the mistakes I make that let me know I'm livin'
    A full assortment of feelings, baby I know I feel 'em
    And most the time I'm feeling the way I feel
    'cause I'm thinking the way I think, I'm living the way I live (so real)
    And some lessons I learned with some I ain't concerned
    And some of them do matter just gotta wait they turn
    'Cause when the pain of staying the same outweighs
    The pain of change I'll probably change my ways
    [Hook: Rodney Atkins]
    One of these days I hope I get this right
    Put the puzzle pieces all together one time
    Not a worry in the world weighing on my mind
    Rolling slow and easy
    One of these days I hope I learn my lesson
    Get it figured out so I don't have to keep guessin'
    Maybe when I'm eighty and I'm taking my last long ride
    I just might get it right

    Boom
    Boom boom
    Everybody know how to ride that horse 'til they own that horse
    And it's bucking
    They all would have did it like this should have did it like that til they get it like that
    Nobody want to walk that walk and when they on that walk and need crutches
    I Hope nobody give it right back
    I Hope nobody did 'em like that
    My pops is older now
    And his life is slowing down
    And he's still trying to get it right get it tight
    'Cause what he's knowing now ain't nothing like what he thought
    Ain't nothing like what I knew but what I know I think this life I love is so [?]

    One of these days I hope I get this right
    Put the puzzle pieces all together one time
    Not a worry in the world weighing on my mind
    Rolling slow and easy
    One of these days I hope I learn my lesson
    Get it figured out so I don't have to keep guessin'
    Maybe when I'm eighty and I'm taking my last long ride
    I just might get it right

    Maybe when I'm eighty my baby's babies no longer babies
    I will still be talking crazy 'bout the moral [?] that I'm gonna be making
    As soon as tomorrow sun is raising
    And I can just appreciate the fact that it's been amazing
    The puzzle pieces they fit together as God intended
    He never asked my opinion he had just dropped me in it
    I'm grateful I'm thankful I'm better for all of it
    The good and the bad the indifferent, all of it listen

    One of these days I hope I get this right
    Put the puzzle pieces all together one time
    Not a worry in the world weighing on my mind
    Rolling slow and easy
    One of these days I hope I learn my lesson
    Get it figured out so I don't have to keep guessin'
    Maybe when I'm eighty and I'm taking my last long ride
    I just might get it right Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
