New Year's Eve

next year's gonna be better, next year will surely be the one
and it's right around the corner hell, it's just about begun
so what am I still sitting here for when everyone's inside
what am I doing drinking whiskey, looking for a place to hide

yeah old buddy I sure miss you, you and old what's his name
and I know if y'all were here now, this party wouldn't be so damn lame
there'd be dancing and fighting and cussing and laughing, we'd raise our voices to the sky
bring the new year in right, instead of watching time go by

yeah sometimes I wonder what the world would be like
if I didn't have strangers as my best friends
sitting here on new year's thinking about old friends and old times
and never seein' them again

yeah sometimes I still wonder what my life would've been like
if I didn't have angels in my defense
sitting here on new year's singing about old friends and old times
and never seein' them again

but next year's gone be better, next year will surely be great
well I guess I should say this year, geez how did it get so late
what am I still sitting here for, when did everybody leave
what am I doing drinking whiskey, oh yeah, it's new year's eve
