New Year's Eve Lyrics

The door was open, I was seething

Your mother burst in, it was freezing

And she said, “It looks like it’s trying to rain”

I was lost, I felt sea sick

You convinced me that he’d left

You said, “Keep talking but don’t use any names”

I scolded your driver and your brother

We are old enough to know how long you’ve been hooked

And we’ve all been through the war

And each time you score, someone gets hauled and handcuffed and booked

It felt like four in the morning

What sounded like fire works turned out to be just what it was

The stars looked like diamonds

And then came the sirens

And everyone started to cuss

All the noise was disturbing and I couldn’t find Irving

It was like two stations on at the same time

And then I hid your car keys

And I made black coffee

And I dumped out the rest of the rum

Nick and Socorro broke up

And Candice wouldn’t shut up

And Fin he recorded the whole thing

And Ray, he said, “Damn you”

And someone broke my camera

And it was new years

And we all started to sing

Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne?

I was leaving in the morning with Charles for Las Vegas

And I didn’t have a plan to come back

I had only a few things, two hundred dollars and my records in a brown paper sack

I ran out on Sheila

Everything’s in storage

Calvin’s right, I should go back to driving truck

Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne?
