New Year's Eve - Warren Haynes, Railroad Earth

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

And 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

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

I’m sitting here on new year’s

Thinking 'bout old friends and old times

We’ll never see them again

Yeah, sometimes I still wonder what

My life would’ve been like

If I didn’t have angels at my defense

I’m sitting here on new year’s

Singing 'bout old friends and old times

We’ll never see them again

But next year’s gonna 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 doing still sitting here for?

When did everybody leave?

What am I doing here drinking whiskey?

Oh yeah, it’s New Year’s Eve
