Turnpike Troubadours – Ringing In The Year lyrics

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
