The story behind the song

"Hey Tomorrow" finds Jim Croce looking ahead with a mix of hope and weariness, ready to break free from old habits. The song is a plea to the future, asking "where are you going?" while expressing a desire for a "new day" and a fresh start. It reflects a turning point, a determination to stop "wasting what's left of me" and escape the familiar patterns of the past. It's a song about taking a stand for one's own future, even when the path isn't clear.
