JOHN MELLENCAMP - A Brand New Song lyrics

rate me

In the sweet belly of the moment<br />

When you realize you've changed<br />

And everything you're after<br />

Has gone down the drain<br />

You're nothing more than just a drifter<br />

As you walk down your road<br />

Not exactly the picture<br />

You thought you'd be sending home<br />

All these places mean nothing<br />

It's the people we count on<br />

Here without a purpose<br />

Gone without a song<br />

<br />

Yesterday seemed so sudden<br />

Today seems to have no end<br />

So you button up the buttons<br />

Say goodbye to what has been<br />

Those black and white pictures<br />

That file through your veins<br />

That's the trouble with the future<br />

It always stays the same<br />

And your pride's been shaken<br />

And those people you count on<br />

Here without a purpose<br />

And gone without a song<br />

Without a song<br />

<br />

In the uncertainty of a new day<br />

Opportunity may howl<br />

You hear the voice in a new way<br />

In the past you didn't know how<br />

You're old enough to know the difference<br />

Between and enemy and a friend<br />

With the eyes of knowledge upon you<br />

You're able to stand up again<br />

Life is always in motion<br />

And there's new people to count on<br />

Here you may find a purpose<br />

And sing a brand new song<br />

<br />

Life is always in motion<br />

New people to count on<br />

Here we find a purpose<br />

To sing a brand new song<br />

Brand new song<br />

Sing a brand new song</
