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, 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, we'd 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 Sitting here on new year's thinking about old friends and old times And never seein' them again Yeah sometimes I still wonder what my life would've been like If I didn't have angels in my defense Sitting here on new year's singing about old friends and old times And never seein' them again But next year's gone 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 still sitting here for, when did everybody leave What am I doing drinking whiskey, oh yeah, it's new year's eve
