Brand New Day

I don't need to write a book

'Bout the chances that I took

All the hearts I had to break

I had to live with my mistakes

All the ghosts that haunt my past

All the dreams that didn't last

Burning candles at both ends, no way to pretend

Watching bad luck take away all my friends

As a boy I never cried

Till the day my mama died

After that I, I left my home

San Francisco all alone

With Eddie, Bill and Dave all gone

Thought I'd put 'em in my song

And maybe to you, well, it don't mean a thing

It's about my life that I wanna sing

Hey, hey

I'm feeling okay

Hey, hey

It's a brand new day, you know

I'm taking it slow

I've gotta say, listen now

Hey, hey

I'm feeling alright

I'm feeling alright tonight

My memories, they linger on

Some are big, and some are strong

Some are happy, some are sad

Some are good, and some were bad

can move you and bring you to tears

Minutes then hours and days turn to years

I've turned the page, I've had kids of my own

The time that I cherish being at home

Hey, hey

I'm feeling okay

Hey, hey

It's a brand new day, you know

I'm taking it slow

I've gotta say, listen now

Hey, hey

I'm feeling alright

I'm feeling alright tonight

I'm feeling okay, yeah

It's a brand new day

Brand new day

It's alright now, yeah

Gonna be a beautiful night

A beautiful, beautiful night

So many cities, airports and hotels

They'll knock you out, count to 10, ring the bell

It's a God-given gift I can sing, I can write

Man I've been doing this all of my life

Hey, hey

I'm feeling okay

Hey, hey

It's a brand new day, you know

I'm taking it slow, so slow

Now listen here

Hey, hey

I'm feeling alright

I'm feeling alright tonight

I'm feeling okay, yeah

It's a brand new day

Brand new day
