New Year's Day |
| You might think there’s nothing left but ashes |
| In a box on a table at Crosby’s Bar |
| But there’s more than meets the eye |
| You didn’t leave us when you died |
| Your spirit will live on in what we do and who we are |
| Aunt Betty’s gonna tell us stories 'bout the family |
| Daughter Susan is gonna sing your favorite song |
| Cousin Perry will spend the day |
| Tellin' tales of the blue and gray |
| And the Cajun will keep pickin' all night long |
| We’ll be putting down the brisket and tequila |
| Down in Kerrville with the Seekers of the Shade |
| 'Cause a piece of you lives on |
| Not only in this song |
| But in all the lives you touched and every friendship that you made |
| We’re gonna go up to Maine and eat some clams and lobsters |
| Bite the worm down in sunny Cancun bay |
| We’ll be home by Christmas Eve |
| Tellin' tales you won’t believe |
| And we’ll swim in Barton Springs on New Year’s Day |
| Well Greg’s gonna walk the aisles up at Carlisle |
| Bringing smiles just like you used to do |
| Uncle Dave’s got a whiskey toast |
| I’ll be driving coast to coast |
| And your smilin' face will live on in the heart of widow Sue |
| We’re gonna jump across the mighty Mississippi |
| Way up north where it’s just a little stream |
| Brother Bill’s gonna keep an eye |
| On the kin you left behind |
| For you taught us how to live and you showed us how to dream |
| We’re gonna go up to Maine and eat some clams and lobsters… |
| Yeah, we’re gonna go up to Maine and suck on the heads of lobsters |
| Like a Cajun gone home to Frenchman Bay |
| We’ll be home by Christmas Eve |
| Tellin' tales you won’t believe |
| And we’ll swim in Barton Springs on New Year’s Day |
