Content
The narrator in the song is seeing his relationship with his significant other end because shes finally moving on. The man was always saying hed 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.
Critical reception
Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song an A grade, saying that "one of Jacksons greatest strengths as a writer is that hes able to craft lyrics that weave everyday jargon into poetry. The man and woman here talk like real people talk, but the conversation is structured in such a way that it elevates it into art."[http://www.countryuniverse.net/2011/08/12/retro-single-review-alan-jackson-someday/ CountryUniverse.net] Review by Kevin John Coyne
