New Year's Eve

The door was open, I was seething
Your mother burst in, it was freezing
She said it looks like it's trying to rain

I was lost, I felt sea sick
You convinced me that he'd left
You said keep talking, but don't use any names

I scolded your driver and your brother
We are old enough to know how long you've been hooked
And we've all been through the war and each time you score
Someone gets hauled and handcuffed and booked, hmm-mm

It felt like four in the morning
What sounded like fire works
Turned out to be just what it was

The stars looked like diamonds
And then came the sirens
Everyone started to cuss

All the noise was disturbing and I couldn't find Irving
It was like two stations on at the same time
And then I hid your car keys, and I made black coffee
And I dumped out the rest of the rum, hmm-mmm

Nick and Socorro broke up
And Candice wouldn't shut up
And, Fin, he recorded the whole thing

Ray, he said damn you
And someone broke my camera
And it was New Years and we all started to sing

Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne?

I was leaving in the morning with Charles for Las Vegas
And I didn't have a plan to come back
I had only a few things, 200 dollars
And my records in a brown paper sack, hmm-mmm

I ran out on Sheila
Everything is in storage
Calvin's right, I should go back to driving truck

Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne?
