Hey tomorrow, where are you goin’
Do you have some room for me
‘Cause night is fallin’ and the dawn is callin’
I’ll have a new day if she’ll have me

Hey tomorrow, I can’t show you nothin’
You’ve seen it all pass by your door
So many times I said I been changin’
Then slipped into patterns of what happened before

“Cause I’ve been wasted and I’ve over-tasted
All the things that life gave to me
And I’ve been trusted, abused and busted
And I’ve been taken by those close to me

Hey tomorrow you’ve gotta believe that
I’m through wastin’ whats left of me
‘Cause night is fallin’ and the dawn is callin’
I’ll have a new day if she’ll have me
