Someday Never Comes -- C.C.R

First thing I remember was askin' papa, "Why?",  For there were many things I didn't know.
And Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand, Sayin', "Someday you'll understand."
Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,  'Cause, "Someday" Never Comes."


Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust, For there were many things I didn't know.
When Daddy went away, he said, "Try to be a man,  And, Someday you'll understand."
And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there,  For there were many things I didn't know.
A son was born to me; Mama held his hand,  Sayin' "Someday you'll understand."


Think it was September, the year I went away,  For there were many things I didn't know.
And I still see him standing, try'n' to be a man;  I said, "Someday you'll understand."

It was also the last single to be released while the group existed.-- "Someday Never Comes"  described the singer's self-consolation as he tries to accept the breakup of a marriage and loss of access to his son.                                 (songfacts.com)
