New Year's Day
Charlie Robison
[Intro]
Em G D G Em G D Em G
[Verse 1]
Em G D G
I woke up early Sunday morning, had myself a piece of toast
Em G D G
Had fifty dollars in my pocket, gonna chase myself a ghost
Em G D G
Went down Camino Espinoza, gonna get me a divorce
Em G D G
Gonna split with all my money, see that girl who loves a horse
[Chorus]
Em G D G
It's New Year's Day here on the border, and it's always been this way
Em G D Em G
I never do the things I oughta, think I'll stay, it's New Year's Day
[Verse 2]
Em G D G
I met them boys there from O'Conner, cowboy like you never seen
Em G D G
They're up for anything you want to, live on steak and refried beans
Em G D G
They bought up half of southern Texas, it's why they act the way they do
Em G D G
When them boys meet me in Laredo, they think they own Laredo too
[Chorus]
Em G D G
It's New Year's Day here on the border, and it's always been this way
Em G D Em G
I never do the things I oughta, think I'll stay, it's New Year's Day
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Em G D G
I know a girl here in Laredo, her name's Pussy Willow Rose
Em G D G
She got that ring around the collar, got that ring stuck through her nose
Em G D G
She works there at the Dallas Cowboys, but she's got no in between
Em G D G
Like all them other boys in dresses, they ain't every Cowboys dream
[Chorus]
Em G D G
It's New Year's Day here on the border, and it's always been this way
Em G D G
I never do the things I oughta, think I'll stay, it's New Year's Day
Em G D G
It's New Year's Day here on the border, and it's always been this way
Em G D Em G
I never do the things I oughta, think I'll stay, it's New Year's Day
[Outro]
