Ringing in the Year Songtext

von Turnpike Troubadours

I thought it better not to talk about
The letter that you sent
It was no one else's business
It was barely even mine
And the situation went
The way the situation went
We sthat shit off of our shoes
A hundred-thousand times
Well won't you miss your whiskey in the wintertime
My dear
The way that I've been missing you this fall
And cheap champagne don't dull the pain
Of ringing in the year
Wondering if you think of me at all
Well the fool I loved in Kansas
Was the fool I loved the best
You were fool enough to fall in love with me
We were two tornadoes
Touching down out in the old midwest
And we did our best at dodging the debris
Well won't you miss your whiskey in the wintertime
My dear
The way that I've been missing you this fall
And cheap champagne don't dull the pain
Of ringing in the year
Wondering if you think of me at all
With a little more resolve
I might be somewhere else with you
But I make no resolution of the kind
So I guess its just God blessing you
Did all that you could do
Let all acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
To roman candles cut across
A January sky
Well won't you miss your whiskey in the wintertime
My dear
The way that I've been missing you this fall
And cheap champagne don't dull the pain
Of ringing in the year
Wondering if you think of me at all
Well I still wonder about you sometimes
You know
