Ringing in the Year

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 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 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 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 --- Ringing in the Year - Turnpike Troubadours
