There's Always Next Year

Well that truck in the front yard

Needs a new carburetor

And that hole in the sheetrock

I'll get to it later

This front porch swingers got a six-pack stringer

So l'll probably won't do it today

But there's always next year to drink less beer

And think less about your memory

Get your picture off the dashboard of this ol' Ford

And start workin' on a brand new me

I know I need to quite drinkin', and smokin', and move on

Instead of wishin' and hopin' you'd come back around here

There's always next year, aww yeah

That church where I oughta go

Will still be there

And this break in my heart, no, it ain't goin' nowhere

But there's always next year to drink less beer

And think less about your memory

Get your picture off the dashboard of this ol' Ford

And start workin' on a brand new me

I know I need to quite drinkin', and smokin', and move on

Instead of wishin' and hopin' you'd come back around here

But there's always next year

The fish ain't bitin', the cows ain't mooin'

The crops ain't growin' at all

And I can't sleep without you next to me

Or stop singin' about you being gone

But there's always next year to drink less beer

And think less about your memory

Get your picture off the dashboard of this ol' Ford

And start workin' on a brand new me

I know I need to quite drinkin', and smokin', and move on

Instead of wishin' and hopin' you'd come back around here

But there's always next year

There's always next year

There's always next year
