Someday (Maggie’s) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Someday, I'll make it there, I swear
To that place that haunts my dreams at night
Singing Heavenly Highway Hymns all the way up
To that beautiful, old countryside
Someday, I'll find the words to explain
All the good times that echo through my mind
Your grin in the morning's a warm southern sun
Or seeing double when those chemicals align
Just some kids who needed love, using laughter as their drug
Doing their best to tow that hard line
Someday, I will lie under blue skies
In a hayfield that holds me like home
And I'll ask forgiveness with God as my witness
For straying so far on my own

[Chorus]
Today, I'll hold my head up high
Knowing someday, comes one day at a time
Today, there's a sun setting soon as suppers warm
Today, I've got someday on my mind

[Verse 2]
Someday, I'll call up all my old friends
And we'll catch up with too many beers
Pull an all-nighter, sitting around fire
For the first time in so many years
Someday
[Verse 3]
Someday, I will come to my senses
Stop sitting on fences in fear
And I will realize after all of this time
That someday was always just right here

[Chorus]
Today, I'll hold my head up high
Knowing someday has been here the whole damn time
There's a sun set setting, I ain't forgetting
The blood that made my heart warm
Today, I found what I was searching for

[Outro]
Someday, I will send you a postcard
From the place that I'm smiling tonight
I sang Heavenly Highway Hymns all the way up
To this beautiful, warm countryside

Genius Annotation

“So at the beginning of March, an amazing woman had messaged about her daughter who had passed away in an accident at 18. She had done some art pieces, like a painted vinyl of DeAnn and journaled about my music and wrote a lot of beautiful stuff about my songs and me. I didn’t quite know how to respond because that’s a deep thing to try an muster up words for, but this past weekend we were recording a song called “Someday on my Mind” and Caleb asked if we all wanted to go get breakfast at this random hole in the wall place. We walked in looking for seating inside, but it was packed, the weather was perfect and after finding a table outside we all sat their laughing, eating and enjoying the morning. I was taking some video just for B-roll for the song. Her daughters name was Maggie and where her name is, is exactly where I was sitting. Her mom and I talked a little about her and her journals and everything but embarrassingly enough I hadn’t thought of it too much. I put this video up and her mom messages my dad and sure enough. Exactly where I was sitting at this exact time, of all the tables and restaurants, of all the chairs I could have sat, in all the towns we could have picked to record this song. Thank you Maggie, Someday On My Mind was for you.” – from Zach Bryan’s Facebook
