Order a coffee, light a cigarette
someone said it's time for us to go
the gypsies take the high road
the devil takes the rest
and time hangs so heavy and so slow
I've known the cowboys, the jokers and the fools
you take your share and still come round for more
I try to rub you from my mind
and count the stealing miles
and wonder if you think of me at all
and it's a hard way to find how much I need you
tomorrow is a word that comes too soon
but if I could have my way, I'd be there with you today but I may as well throw rings around the moon
I may as well throw rings around the moon
it's the same old storyline, I think you know by now
some things don't work out the way they say
the stars shine down on dreamers,
lord knows they shine on me
but they vanish in the cold light of day
So, load out tomorrow, in just another town
the lights go down it's time to start the show
there's magic in the moment
when the guitar calls the tune
and for a while your heart is in your hands
and it's a hard way to find how much I love you
tomorrow is a word that comes too soon
but if I could have my way,
I'd be there with you today
but I may as well throw rings around the moon
I may as well throw rings around the moon
I may as well throw rings around the moon
