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]
