Ringing in the Year

I thought it better not to talk about the letter that you sent

It no one else's business, it was barely even mine

And the situation went the way, the situation went

We shook that 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 a 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 it's 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
