Ringing In the Year

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] Well won't you miss your whiskey in the wintertime, my dear The way that I've been missin' you this fall? And cheap champagne don't dull the pain of ringin' in the year Wond'rin' if you think of me at all [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Well won't you miss your whiskey in the wintertime, my dear The way that I've been missin' you this fall? And cheap champagne don't dull the pain of ringin' in the year Wond'rin' if you think of me at all [Verse 3] 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 bless, and you did all that you could do Let all acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind Two roman candles cut across a January sky [Chorus] Well won't you miss your whiskey in the wintertime, my dear The way that I've been missin' you this fall? And cheap champagne don't dull the pain of ringing' in the year Wond'rin' if you think of me at all [Outro] Well I still wonder about you sometimes, y'know?
