Let's begin where the story ends
I'll try to explain how I lost my friends
I didn't stop then 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 song
It all began in this payed 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 in through your heart
And the radio was on
Playing last years song
Are you listening now?
Can I get through somehow?
You know I never did you wrong
That was last years 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
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 preachers raging on
Banning last years song
Are you listening now?
Did I get through somehow?
When you're finally catching on
Then I'm gone, like last years song
I'm not afraid now
It's gone away now
You're on your way now
It is New Year's Day now
And I got through somehow
I'll try to explain how I lost my friends
I didn't stop then 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
