Brand New Day

Johnny had a plan, gonna see the world

He knew he had to go

Gonna take his girl and then make their way to Ontario

She said, "Why you looking at me that way?

You gonna go or you gonna stay?"

Get up, get up, get up, hear what I say

Wake up, wake up, wake up, go find a better way

Get up, get up, get up, it's a brand new day

So we flagged a ride

On an eastbound freight going anywhere

Driving through the night through the wind and rain

And took him all the way there

Gone in the hours, as the miles slipped away

In the sound of the wheels he could still hear her say

Get up, get up, get up, whatever it takes

Wake up, wake up, wake up, give your head a shake

Get up, get up, get up, it's a brand new day

It's a brand new day

What are you thinkin' about, man, you better get out

I'm gonna be someone, have my day in the sun

Whatever, you won't know if you don't try

So bye bye baby, bye bye baby, bye bye

Sometimes you lay awake thinkin' 'bout

The things that you never told her

So on a starry night from the noisy bar

You telephoned her

You could come down, I'll meet your train

She just laughed and said some people never change

Get up, get up, get up, hear what I say

Wake up, wake up, wake up, go find a better way

Get up, get up, get up, it's a brand new day

It's a brand new day

Gotta find a better way

Turn down bye bye, bye bye baby, bye bye

It's a brand new day

It's a brand new day
