Eddie Money Brand New Day Lyrics

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 vague, and some are strong
Some are happy, some are sad
Some are good, and some were bad
Days that 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
