[Verse 1]
Left my life in Tijuana
Lost my luck in Ashbury
Made a fortune in Havana
Where I dumped my misery

[Chorus]
Now I'm headin' for the city
To meet my destiny
Yes, I'm headin' for the city
To meet my destiny

[Verse 2]
Left my love in Atlanta
Took a plane to Birmingham
Broke my heart in Vienna
Got it back in Amsterdam

[Chorus]
Now I'm headin' for the city
To meet my destiny
I keep headin' for the city
To meet my destiny
To meet my destiny

[Bridge]
Quit playin' poker in Las Vegas
No more trips to Miami
I did my time down in Memphis
Where I left a part of me
I left that part of me behind
[Chorus]
Now I'm headin' for thе city
To meet my destiny
I keep headin' for the city
To meet my dеstiny
I keep headin' to that city
To meet my destiny
To meet my destiny
