There's Always Next Year

[Intro]

Ooh, yeah

[Verse 1]

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 swinger's got a six-pack stringer

So I probably won't do it today

[Chrous]

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, oh yeah

[Verse 1]

That church where I oughta go

Will still be there

And this break in my heart

No, it ain't goin' nowherе

[Chorus]

But there's always next yеar 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

[Bridge]

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' 'bout you bein' gone

[Chrous]

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

[Outro]

There's always next year, whoo

There's always next year (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah)

(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, yeah)
