Maybe next Year Lyrics

Times are a changing
But I�m still the same ol� son of a bitch in the wind
I act like I did back when I was a kid
But it hurts me more than it did back then
I go out on the town and make a fool of myself
I run around with the same rowdy friends
I get drunk and obnoxious
And wake up the next day swearin� I�m never drinkin� again

Yeah, my grandma still tells me
Enough is enough
Life ain�t a game, son
It�s time to grow up

[CHORUS]
Maybe next year, I�ll start acting my age
Turn a new leaf over my wicked ways
Get a real job and start pullin� my weight
Only 365 days
Until I change my ways

I dress like a slob
I never tuck in my shirt
I let it hang over my baggy jeans
I wear an old baseball cap on the top of my head
With the logo of my favorite team
Still got the same dirty mouth that I�ve had
Since my first cousin taught me to cuss
And I just quit my 9 to 5 occupation
To play a whole bunch of songs I made up

Yeah, I�m a big ol� kid
But I ain�t ashamed
�Cause when the time comes around
I know I can change

CHORUS

Maybe next year I�ll quit blowin� all of the cash
Start working out and get off of my ass
Maybe next year I�ll quit putting off all the chores
Maybe next year I�ll visit my grandparents more
Maybe next year I�ll go back to church and repent
Maybe next year I�ll pick up my Bible again

I ought to straighten up
And there�s no better time than now
To kick all the habits
That are bringin� me down

Maybe next year I won�t be singin� the blues
Maybe next year I�ll start telling the truth
Maybe next year I won�t stay drunk all the time
Maybe next year I�ll have a little more peace of mind
And maybe next year
I won�t be so sad when I�m alone

Maybe next year
