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
