We walk along the Hudson when it snows here in Manhattan   We've lived our lives so out of place   You touch my cheek and I do wonder how this happened   That two young lovers could pack their dreams   And move from the Texas Plains      Oh, I'm gonna take us back where we belong   Where you can see it in the stars that the weather's comin' on   One of these days      Now, our Daddy's grew cotton spittin' dust of a mornin'   We met on a school bus rollin' through the Autumn fields our Daddy's raised   Beneath a hot August sky our Mothers waved goodbye   My Daddy tipped his hat with a tear in his eye   When we left for the city where the sun rarely shines   It was a hundred and two in the shade      Oh, I'm gonna take us back where we belong   Where you can see it in the stars that the weather's comin' on   One of these days      Hey, do you wanna take a cab uptown?   Watch the skaters go 'round and around   We could talk about leavin' this town   Some other day      And I suppose we look like natives here   This middle aged couple with silver hair   And on cold winter nights this love we share   Is still a hundred and two in the shade      Oh, I'm gonna take us back where we belong   Where you can see it in the stars that the weather's comin' on   One of these days      Yes, I'm gonna take us back where we belong   Where you can see it in the stars that the weather's comin' on   One of these days      One of these days   One of these days   One of these days
