There's a friend that I have
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
With an empty heart
And she'll know me by the sound of my hoping
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
With an empty heart
Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart
You see all of these empties that I'm holding
And they save the last round for the windows
That the night could just bend on forever
While outside in the frost
I'm inside with my friends
Oh they ride into town
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
And for her I'll go back
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart
And they can't even sing to their shadows
With an empty heart
Empty arms, empty hands
With an empty heart
Are the wolves and the lost
With an empty heart
And we sing to the dogs or whoever
With an empty heart
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
And they throw the shots down
They're too much for a man
We build fires and pretend
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
Don't let me into this year with an empty heart
Singing don't let me into this year with an empty heart
