New Year's Day

Well, I woke up early Sunday mornin'

Had myself a piece of toast

Had 50 dollars in my pocket

Gonna chase myself a ghostWent down Camino Espinoza

Gonna get me a divorce

I'm gonna split with all my money

See that girl who loves a horseIt's 'New Year's Day' here on the border

And it's always been this way

I never do the things, I oughta

I think I'll stay, it's 'New Year's Day'Well, I met 'em, boys they're from ol' Connor

Cowboy like you've never seen

They're up for anything you want to

Live on steak and refried beansThey bought up half of Southern Texas

It's why they act the way they do

When 'em, boys meet me in Laredo

They think they own Laredo tooIt's 'New Year's Day' here on the border

And it's always been this way

I never do the things, I oughta

I think I'll stay, it's 'New Year's Day'Well, I know a girl here in Laredo

Her name's Pussy Willow Rose

She got that ring 'round the collar

Got that ring stuck through her noseShe works there, at the Dallas Cowboys

But she got no in between

Like all them, other boys in dresses

They ain't every cowboys dreamIt's 'New Year's Day' here on the border

And it's always been this way

I never do the things, I oughta

I 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

I think I'll stay, it's 'New Year's Day'
