Gordon Lightfoot - Too Much To Lose CAPO: 3rd Fret [INTRO:] [VERSE 1:] Pardon me if I’m leaving in a hurry can’t you see There’s too much to lose for me to stay around I’ve played your game obeyed your rules the best that I know how Gonna get out while the game don’t get me down [CHORUS:] It’s been a long long day and now it’s gone gone I won’t see you again before the dawn There’s too much to lose for me to stay around So I’ll just cash in the chips and leave this town [INTERLUDE:] [VERSE 2:] Pardon me if I don’t turn back or even say goodbye I surely have enjoyed your cup of tea Got no more time to gamble on a thing that ain’t too sure And the dust cloud on the edge of town is me [VERSE 3:] If you ever feel that you should want to get in touch somehow Forget it that’s all in yesterday Forgiving is to lovers as trusting is to fools And of losing there is nothing I can say [CHORUS:] It’s been a long long day and now it’s gone gone I won’t see you again before the dawn There’s too much to lose for me to stay around So I’ll just cash in the chips and leave this town [CHORUS:] It’s been a long long day and now it’s gone gone I won’t see you again before the dawn There’s too much to lose for me to stay around So I’ll just cash in the chips and leave this town Well I’ll just cash in the chips and leave this town [OUTRO:]

Dans cette chanson, le narrateur exprime un besoin urgent de quitter une situation devenue trop risquée pour lui. Il a suivi les règles d'un jeu qui ne lui est plus favorable et réalise qu'il a trop à perdre s'il reste. La décision de partir est irrémédiable ; il ne prend même pas le temps de dire au revoir, conscient que le lien qui existait n'est plus suffisant pour justifier son engagement. Le contexte semble être celui d'une relation qui a pris fin, où le protagoniste se rend compte que continuer à investir dans cette dynamique ne ferait qu'aggraver ses souffrances. Il évoque une lassitude face aux incertitudes et à une forme de désillusion, lui permettant de se libérer d'un passé qui ne lui sert plus.
