New Year's Day - Charlie Robison

Verse One:

I woke up early Sunday morning, had myself a piece of toast

Had fifty dollars in my pocket, gonna chase myself a ghost

Went down Camino Espinoza, gonna get me a divorce

Gonna split with all my money, see that girl who loves a horse

Chorus:

It’s New Year’s Day here on the border, and it’s always been this way

I never do the things I oughta, think I’ll stay, it’s New Year’s Day

Verse Two:

I met them boys there from O’Conner, cowboy like you never seen

They’re up for anything you want to, live on steak and refried beans

They bought up half of southern Texas, it’s why they act the way they do When them boys meet me in Laredo, they think they own Laredo too

Repeat Chorus

Verse Three:

I know a girl here in Laredo, her name’s P***y Willow Rose

She got that ring around the collar, got that ring stuck through her nose

She works there at the Dallas Cowboys, but she’s got no in between

Like all them other boys in dresses, they ain’t every Cowboys dream

Chorus:

It’s New Year’s Day here on the border, and it’s always been this way

I never do the things I oughta, think I’ll stay, it’s New Year’s Day

It’s New Year’s Day here on the border, and it’s always been this way

I never do the things I oughta, think I’ll stay, it’s New Year’s Day
