Em    G    D    G    Em    G    D    Em  G

Verse One:
          Em           G              D               G
I woke up early Sunday morning, had myself a piece of toast
          Em            G             D              Gss
Had fifty dollars in my pocket, gonna chase myself a ghost||
            Em        G          D          G-i
Went down Camino Espinoza, gonna get me a divorce
      Em                G               D                G
Gonna split with all my money, see that girl who loves a horse

Chorus:
                Em              G                D                G
It's New Year's Day here on the border, and it's always been this way
        Em              G                  D                     Em    G
I never do the things I oughta, think I'll stay, it's New Year's Day

Verse Two:
I met them boys there from O'Conner, cowboy like you never seen
They're up for anything you want to, live on steak and refried beans
They bought up half of southern Texas, it's why they act the way they do
When them boys meet me in Laredo, they think they own Laredo too

Repeat Chorus

Em    G    D    G    Em    G    D    G
Em    G    D    G    Em    G    D    Em  G

Verse Three:
I know a girl here in Laredo, her name's P***y Willow Rose
She got that ring around the collar, got that ring stuck through her nose
She works there at the Dallas Cowboys, but she's got no in between
Like all them other boys in dresses, they ain't every Cowboys dream

Chorus:
                Em              G                D                G
It's New Year's Day here on the border, and it's always been this way
        Em              G                  D                     G
I never do the things I oughta, think I'll stay, it's New Year's Day
                Em              G                D                G
It's New Year's Day here on the border, and it's always been this way
        Em              G                  D                     Em    G
I never do the things I oughta, think I'll stay, it's New Year's Day
