The New Year is now upon us, another has come and gone
As I sit and look over the hillside at this first New Year dawn
The one thing that stands out at me is nothing much has changed
The trees all look the same and brush hasn’t been rearranged
Why does everyone get so excited about this day I dare question
People go out and drink too much then wake sick with indigestion
Now if when New Year arrived it made my debts or problems go away
I would be the first to dance with drink in hand and guzzle it away
Unfortunately that doesn’t happen, and my life will go on just the same
And I won’t make resolutions about things and habits that I’ll never change
So I will start the first day of this year the same as years in the past
And pray that I just make it all the way through until this year’s last
From My World to Yours,
Bob Baker
