Its 2006 now and 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 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 swearing I'm never drinking again 

My grandma still tells me enough is enough 

Life ain't a game son, its 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 pulling my weight 

Only 365 days until I change my ways 



Maybe next year ... 



I dress like a slob, I never tuck in my shirt 

I let it hang over my baggy jeans 

Wearing an old baseball cap on the top of my head 

With the logo of my favorite team 

I still got the same dirty mouth that I 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 ole kid, but I ain't ashamed 

Because when the time comes around, I know I can change 



Maybe next year I'll start acting my age 

Turn a new leaf over my wicked ways 

Get a real job and start pulling my weight 

Only 365 days until I change my ways 



Maybe next year ... 



Maybe next year I'll quit blowin' all of the cash 

Start working out and get off my ass 

Or maybe next year I'll quit puttin' off all the chores 

Maybe next year I'll visit my grandparents more 

Maybe nent year I'll go back to church and repent 

Maybe next year I'll pick up my Bible again 



I oughta straighten up and there's no better time than now 

To kick all the habits that are bringing me down 



Maybe next year I'll stop singing the blues 

And maybe next year I'll start telling the truth 

And 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 



Maybe next year ... 

Maybe next year ... 

Maybe next year ... 

Maybe next year ... 

Woah-oh-woah maybe next year ... 

Maybe next year ...
