New Year's Day Lyrics - Singles - Charlie Robison

Well, I woke up early Sunday mornin' 

Had myself a piece of toast 

Had 50 dollars in my pocket 

Gonna chase myself a ghost 

Went down Camino Espinoza 

Gonna get me a divorce 

I'm gonna split with all my money 

See that girl who loves a horse 

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' 

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 beans 

They 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 too 

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' 

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 nose 

She works there, at the Dallas Cowboys 

But she got no in between 

Like all them, other boys in dresses 

They ain't every cowboys dream 

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' 

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'
