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 |
