| 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 year’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’ll 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
|
| And I got through somehow
|
| If you’re listening now
|
| I bet you hear that sound
|
| Of the preacher’s 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 is New Year’s Day now
|
| And I got through somehow |
