Started out with her leaving, she said she wasn't coming back
It left my heart sorely grieving , just how do you deal with that
Then my roommate said he was moving, he had fallen in love and that was a fact
So we went down to play at the station
And we got so drunk they said they didn't ever want us back

CHORUS

Yeah the new year just barely started
And I don't know what the hell I'm doing here
Things turn upside down so damn fast
Well it looks like it's gonna be another hard miserable year
Uncle Sam sent for all my money, and he damn near put me in the hole
My friends all laughed, yeah they thought it was funny
I only had a dollar to my name when I finally got back home

Summer flew by and it was crazy
Filled with car wrecks and breakups and things I'd rather not say
So I just sit back and keep dreaming
Of the good times I've had and the ones that are on the way

CHORUS
