Brand New Day

I don't need to write a book
Not to chances that I took
Or hearts I had to break
I have to live with my mistakes
All the girls that haunt my past
All the dreams that didn't last
Burning candles at both ends
The way to pretend
Watching their lot take away all my friends
As a boy I never cried
'Til the day my momma died
After that I, I left my home
San Fransisco overload.
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 want to sing
Hey! Hey! Feeling okay!
Hey! Hey! It's a brand new day! You know!
I'm taking it slow
Gotta say, listen now!
Hey! Hey! I'm feeling alright!
Feeling alright tonight
Memories they linger long
Some are weak and some are strong
Some are happy some are sad
Some are good and some are bad
Things that can move you and bring you to tears
Minutes then hours and days turn to years
I turned the page, I had kids of my own
Attended a church, being at home
Hey! Hey! Feelin' okay
Hey! Hey! It's a brand new day, you know.
I'm taking it slow.
Yeah!
Hey! Hey! I'm feeling alright!
I'm feeling alright tonight!
I'm feelin' okay! Yeah!
It's a brand new day!
A brand new day.
It's alright now, yeah!
Gonna be a beautiful night
Beautiful, beautiful night
So many cities and hotels
They'll know you out
Count to ten 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 feelin' okay
Hey! Hey! It's a brand new day, you know.
I'm taking it slow.
So slow!
(?)
Hey! Hey! I'm feelin' alright
I'm feeling okay
It's a brand new day!
