Maybe Next Year Songtext
von Corey Smith

Times are a changin′ but I'm still the same
Old 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
Maybe next year I'll start actin′ 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, 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
Oh, I′m a big ol' kid but I ain′t ashamed
'Cause when the time comes around I know I can change

Maybe next year I'll start actin′ 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

Maybe next year I'll quit blowin′ all of the cash
Start workin' out and get off of my ass
Maybe next year I′ll quit puttin' 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

Maybe next year I won′t be singin′ the blues
Maybe next year I'll start tellin′ the truth
Maybe next year I won't stay drunk all the time
And 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, alone, alone
I'm alone, alone, alone
So alone, alone, alone, oh


Maybe next year, ah oh yeah
Oh, oh maybe next year, ah oh yeah
