New Years Day

New Year s Day
Charlie Robison

[Intro]
                              

[Verse 1]
                                                  
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 2]
                                                  
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

[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

[Instrumental]
                            
                              

[Verse 3]
                                                  
I know a girl here in Laredo, her name s Pussy 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

[Outro]
