New Year's Eve Lyrics
The door was open, I was seething
Your mother burst in it was freezing
She said it looks like it's trying to rain
I was lost, I felt sea sick
You convinced me that he'd left
You said keep talking but don't use their names
I scolded your driver and your brother
We are old enough to know how long you've been hooked
And we've all been through the war
And each time you score
Someone gets hauled and handcuffed and booked
It felt like four in the morning
What sounded like fire works
Turned out to be just what it was
The stars looked like diamonds
Then came the sirens
And everyone started to cuss
All the noise was disturbing
And I couldn't find Irving
It was like two stations on at the same time
And then I hid your car keys
And I made black coffee
And I dumped out the rest of the rum
Nick and Socorro broke up
And Candice wouldn't shut up
Fin he recorded the whole thing
Ray he said damn you
And someone broke my camera
And it was New Years
And we all started to sing
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne
I was leaving in the morning with Charles for Las Vegas
And I didn't have a plan to come back
I had only a few things
Two hundred dollars
And my records in a brown paper sack
I ran out on Sheila
Everything's in storage
Calvin's right I should go back to driving truck
Should auld acquaintance be forgot and never brought to mind
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne
Your mother burst in it was freezing
She said it looks like it's trying to rain
I was lost, I felt sea sick
You convinced me that he'd left
You said keep talking but don't use their names
I scolded your driver and your brother
We are old enough to know how long you've been hooked
And we've all been through the war
And each time you score
Someone gets hauled and handcuffed and booked
What sounded like fire works
Turned out to be just what it was
The stars looked like diamonds
Then came the sirens
And everyone started to cuss
And I couldn't find Irving
It was like two stations on at the same time
And then I hid your car keys
And I made black coffee
And I dumped out the rest of the rum
And Candice wouldn't shut up
Fin he recorded the whole thing
Ray he said damn you
And someone broke my camera
And it was New Years
And we all started to sing
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne
And I didn't have a plan to come back
I had only a few things
Two hundred dollars
And my records in a brown paper sack
Everything's in storage
Calvin's right I should go back to driving truck
Should auld acquaintance be forgot for the sake of auld lang syne

i absolutely adore this song & every sentiment it evokes.
Sounds like a group of addicts get together on New Years Eve and it all goes south. The cleanest one of the bunch is the host and tries to bring in one's mother to help maintain order. Unfortunately, things get out of control, and several are arrested. The host of the party leaves in frustration to start over in Vegas. However, he will never forget his friends.
