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
