New Year's Day - Charlie Robison

New Year's Day - Charlie Robison
3:54
Good Times, 2004
Written by Charlie Robison

I never heard of this guy but based on this song, he's my kind of alt-country outlaw.  From the opening lines ("I woke up early Sunday morning, had myself a piece of toast / Had fifty dollars in my pocket, gonna chase myself a ghost") to the fascinatingly ambiguous final lines about an alleged transvestite bar (the Dallas Cowboys, in Laredo), this is not your typical Texas road trip tale.  Toe-tapping weirdness.
