Last Year's Song

Let’s begin where the story ends

I’ll try to explain how I lost my friends

I didn’t stop when I knew I should

I've got nothing now, it’s gone for good

I guess they want me dead, a bounty on my head

I say, just let them come, yeah bring them on

Are you listening now, can I get through somehow

I’ve been waiting for so long

This is last years’s song

It all began in this prayed up town

You were looking for a way out, love strapped you down

I turned and ran as we were taking our vows

It sure is hard to run in a wedding-gown

So I stole your car, and ran it through your heart

And the radio was on, playing last year’s song

And if you're listening now, can I get through somehow

You know I never did you wrong

That was last year's song

I heard you fell in love again (with what’s her name)

She used to be my friend (not anymore)

I hope you make it in the end, I’m free now

No I’m not afraid now, no no

No I'm not afraid now

Yeah I’m on my way now, I got through somehow

If you’re listening now, I bet you hear that sound

Of the preachers raging on, banning last year’s song

Are you listening now, did I get through somehow

When you’re finally catching on, then I’m gone

Like last year's song

I’m not afraid now

It’s gone away now, yeah, yeah, yeah

You’re on your way now

It's New Year’s Day now, I got through somehow
