Kid Rock released several studio albums from 1988 that mostly went unnoticed before his 1998 record 'Devil Without a Cause', released with Atlantic Records, sold 11 million albums behind the hits, "Bawitdaba","Cowboy," and "Only God Knows Why". In 2000, he released The History of Rock which was a compilation of remixed and remastered versions of songs from his previous albums as well as the hit single, "American Bad Ass". In 2001, he released the follow up, Cocky. After a slow start, his country-flavored hit "Picture" with Sheryl Crow resurrected the album and it went gold as a single and pushed the album's sales to more than 5 million. It was followed by 2003's self-titled release, which failed to chart a major hit. In 2006 he released Live Trucker , a live album. In 2007 Kid Rock released Rock N Roll Jesus, which produced a hit in "All Summer Long." It was his first worldwide smash hit, charting #1 in eight countries across Europe and Australia. Rock N Roll Jesus would go on to sell 5 million albums worldwide including being certified triple platinum in the US.
He has sold 22 million albums to date in the United States, which currently ranks him as the 99th best selling music artist of all time in the U.S.

Let's raise a glass, here's to you dear
Now I was hoping that I'd find you here
Just to wish you a Happy New Year
Kiss me pretty, kiss me pretty
When that ball drops on New York City
When that clock strikes I'll pull you near
I'll quit smokin', I'll quit eatin'
I'm not jokin', I'll quit cheatin'
I'll quit cursin', I'll quit drinkin'
I'll be a better person, but tonight I'm thinkin'
Let's get shit faced, let's get shit faced
Let's get into trouble, let's get outta this place
And I'll have faith in the coast that you clear
Say you love me, Happy New Year
Where's my car keys? Where's my car keys?
My place ain't too far, we can crawl on our knees
What we're feelin' we can't do here
Sexual healing Happy New Year
I know your thinkin' I must be crazy
Don't sweat that small stuff, kiss me baby
Yeah it's September, but with you here
Every night is a Happy New Year
Happy New Year Happy New Year
Let's raise a glass, cheers to you dear
I'm so glad that I found you here
So you could be my Happy New Year
