Did you see the morning
looked so different today?
I've a mind to let all fortunes
chips fall where they may
Put my future in the hands of fate
And just see what comes along
So don't ask for me tomorrow,
man
Cause tonight I'm moving on
Well, I tried to make a difference, Lord
But it ended up the same
I un derstood the rules
But not the nature of this game
Always tried so hard to do it right
But that's where it all went wrong
So don't ask for me tomorrow,
Cause tonight I'm moving on
There's not a thing I have
I couldn't stand to lose
So I'm gonna leave this city
of troubles and cares
To the rats and the roaches
and the millionaires
When I was a younger man,
they promised me the world
They spun me tales
of New York dogs
and California girls
Oh, but when that moment came,
well, it didn't hang around so long
Just don't ask for me tomorrow,
man
Cause tonight I'm moving on
There's not a thing I have
I couldn't stand to lose
So I'm gonna leave this city
to troubles and cares
To the rats and the roaches
and the millionaires
And I won't spare a thought
for all the things that
might have been
When I'm laying in the sun
upon a field of perfect green
Oh, and maybe given time
they'll come to miss me when I'm gone
But don't ask for me tomorrow,
man,
cause tonight I'm moving on
Yeah, I'm heading for some other town
I'm heading for the sea
Packing up the tears and laughter
I'll be taking them with me
And if you can stand to travel life
Then why don't you come along?
We'll see where our luck
may take us to
Yeah, tonight we're moving on
See where good luck may
take us to
Tonight we're moving on
Just don't ask for me tomorrow,
man
Cause tonight I'm moving on
