Intro :
T he door was open I was seethin g
Y our mother burst in it was fre ezing
S he said it looks like it's tryin g to rain
I was lost I felt sea s ick
Y ou convinced me that he'd left
Y ou said keep talking but don't use a ny names
I scolded your driver and your brother
We are old enough to know how long you've been hooked
A nd we've all been through the war
And each time you score
Someone gets hauled and handcuffed and booked
I t felt like four in the mornin g
W hat sounded like fire w orks
T urned out to be just what it was
T he stars looked like diamon ds
T hen came the sirens
A nd everyone started to cu ss
A ll the noise was disturbing
And I couldn't find Irving
It was like two stations on at the sam e time
A nd then I hid your car keys
And I made black coffee
And I dumped out the rest of the r um
N ick and Socorro broke u p
A nd Candice wouldn't shut up
F in he recorded the whole thing
R ay he said damn you
A nd someone broke my camera
A nd it was New Years
A nd we all started to sin g
S hould auld acquaintan ce be forgot an d never brou ght to mind
S hould auld acquaintanc e be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne
I was leaving in the morning with Charles for Las Vegas
And I didn't plan to come b ack
I had only a few things
Two hundred dollars
And my records in a brown paper sack
I ran out on Sheila
E verything's in storage
C alvin's right I should go ba ck to driving tru ck
S hould auld acquaintan ce be forgot an d never brou ght to mind
S hould auld acquaintanc e be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne
