Well, I woke up early Sunday mornin'   Had myself a piece of toast   Had 50 dollars in my pocket   Gonna chase myself a ghost      Went down Camino Espinoza   Gonna get me a divorce   I'm gonna split with all my money   See that girl who loves a horse      It's 'New Year's Day' here on the border   And it's always been this way   I never do the things, I oughta   I think I'll stay, it's 'New Year's Day'      Well, I met 'em, boys they're from ol' Connor   Cowboy like you've 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 'em, boys meet me in Laredo   They think they own Laredo too      It's 'New Year's Day' here on the border   And it's always been this way   I never do the things, I oughta   I think I'll stay, it's 'New Year's Day'      Well, I know a girl here in Laredo   Her name's Pussy Willow Rose   She got that ring 'round the collar   Got that ring stuck through her nose      She works there, at the Dallas Cowboys   But she got no in between   Like all them, other boys in dresses   They ain't every cowboys dream      It's 'New Year's Day' here on the border   And it's always been this way   I never do the things, I oughta   I 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   I think I'll stay, it's 'New Year's Day'
