Intro: verse 1 Let's begin where the story ends I'll try to explain how I lost my friends I didn't stop when I knew I should I've got nothing now, it's gone for good I guess they want me dead, a bounty on my head I say just let them come, yeah bring them on Are you listening now? Can I get through somehow? I've been waiting for so long This is last year's song INTERLUDE 1 | | verse 2 It all began in this prayed up town (You were looking for a way out, love strapped you down) I turned and ran as we were taking our vows It sure is hard to run in a wedding gown So I stole your car, and ran it through your heart And the radio was on, playing last year's song And if you're listening now, can I get through somehow? You know I never did you wrong That was last year's song BRIDGE I heard you fell in love again (with what's her name) She used to be my friend (not anymore) I hope you'll make it in the end, I'm free now No I'm not afraid now, no, no, no I'm not afraid now Yeah I'm on my way now and I got through somehow If you're listening now, I bet you hear that sound Of the preacher's raging on, banning last year's song Are you listening now? Did I get through somehow? When you're finally catching on, then I'm gone, like last year's song OUTRO | | | | I'm not afraid now | | It's gone away now, yeah, yeah, yeah, you're on your way now It is New Year's Day now and I got through somehow
