Intro: I woke up early Sunday morning, had myself a piece of toast Had fifty dollars in my pocket, gonna chase myself a ghost Went down Camino Espinoza, gonna get me a divorce Gonna split with all my money, see that girl who loves a horse Chorus: It's New Year's Day here on the border, and it's always been this way I never do the things I oughta, think I'll stay, it's New Year's Day Verse Two: I met them boys there from O'Conner, cowboy like you 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 them boys meet me in Laredo, they think they own Laredo too Repeat Chorus Verse Three: I know a girl here in Laredo, her name's Pussy Willow Rose She got that ring around the collar, got that ring stuck through her nose She works there at the Dallas Cowboys, but she's got no in between Like all them other boys in dresses, they ain't every Cowboys dream Chorus: It's New Year's Day here on the border, and it's always been this way I never do the things I oughta, 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, think I'll stay, it's New Year's Day
