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 years’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 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, I got through somehow
If you’re listening now, I bet you hear that sound Of the preachers 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's New Year’s Day now, I got through somehow
