Alan Jackson – Someday, is a song written by American country music singer Alan Jackson and Jim McBride, and recorded by Jackson. It was released in August 1991 as the second single from Jackson’s second album, Don’t Rock The Jukebox. The song peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart, and number 2 on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart.
The narrator in the song is seeing his relationship with his significant other end because she’s finally moving on. The man was always saying he’d get his act together someday, but someday never came around and she got sick of waiting. At the end of the song, the narrator proves he has gotten his act together by fixing up an old car he said he’d get around to “someday” and driving to his ex’s work where she drives off with him.

Alan Jackson – Someday Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She looked me in the eye and said it’s over
I can’t take this heartache, anymore
She said don’t tell me lies and try to please me
I’ve heard it all so many times before
[Verse 2]
And I took her by the arm and said don’t leave me
There’s nothing in this world, I wouldn’t do
Just give me time, I’ll be the man you’ve needed
She said I wish that I could take that, for the truth
[Chorus]
And I said someday, I’ll get my life straight
And she said it’s too late, what’s done is done
And I told her someday, she said I can’t wait
‘Cause sometimes someday, just never comes
[Verse 3]
She said all I’ve ever wanted, was to love you
And somewhere deep inside me I still do
But now I think it’s time I stopped believin’
‘Cause I’m never gonna see a change in you
[Chorus]
And I said someday, I’ll get my life straight
And she said it’s too late, what’s done is done
And I told her someday, she said I can’t wait
‘Cause sometimes someday, just never comes
[Outro]
Oh, sometimes someday, just never comes
GENIUS
