Maybe Tomorrow
The Overtones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down the road is where I'll always be
And every stop I make
I make a new friend
Can't stay for long
Just turn around and I'm gone again
Maybe tomorrow, I'll wanna settle down
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving
Down this road that never seems to end
Where a new adventure lies just around the bend
So if you wanna join me
Join me for a while
Just grab your hat, come travel light, that's hobo style
Maybe tomorrow, I'll wanna settle down
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on
Just keep moving on
I gotta keep moving on
Just keep moving on, yeah, I, I'm moving on
There's a voice that keeps on calling me
Down this road is where I'll always be
Every stop I make, I make a new friend
Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again
Maybe tomorrow, I'll wanna settle down
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on
Maybe tomorrow, I'll wanna settle down
Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on
Just keep moving on
Just keep moving on
Just keep moving on
Just keep moving on
Just keep moving on
Just keep moving on
I gotta keep moving, gotta keep moving on
Just keep moving on
Just keep moving on
Just keep moving on
