New Year's Day Lyrics

Bacon Brothers New Year's Day

Never should have listened to that friend of mine
He said the work was here and the girls were fine
But all I do is wait in line to be told that I'm not
right

Never should have climbed the Rockies in my lousy car
Three thousand miles to chase this star
I got to save my money and tend this bar
To get that eastbound flight

Don't want to waste another day in LA in the land of
the endless summer
Sometimes it seems these California dreams are just one
long bummer
And I was born the son of a mummer
I'm gonna keep on keep on waiting on new years day

I'll be up all night making body heat
Bring my golden slippers down to 2 street
And don't that glockenspiel sound sweet in the January
air

I'm gonna raise my glass to the first sunrise
Dance and strut with all my guys
I gotta kiss the girl with the ice blue eyes confetti
in her hair, gotta be there

Chorus

Bridge

Here we stand at your door
Like we did the year before
Give us whiskey give us gin
Open up and let us in
