Bruce Robison - Brand New Me

This is such a small, small town
When you're tryin' to lose your past
Girl, I've seen you around
You sure moved on pretty fast
Willie said he met your new boy
Told me he ain't so bad
They said that you're so happy now
The best thing you've ever knew
And this love you've found
Girl, it looks so good on you
I've been feelin' a little lonely down here
Wonderin' if I could do it all again

[Chorus]
But I heard forty is the brand new thirty
And thirty is the new eighteen
And red and white is the brand new black
Though I don't know what that means
And I hope losing is the brand new winning
'Cause he's wearin' my old blue jeans
And I'm beginning to think
That he is the brand new me
He's the new me

'Cause the old ideal
That's just the new making-do
This here see you around
Is just an old I love you
And yesterday's sweet love song
Is today's forgotten tune
But what's gone is gone
'Til it rolls right back around again
And this old sleepless night
Is just like a long-lost friend
Yesterday's happy man
Is today's lovesick fool

[Chorus]
But I heard forty is the brand new thirty
And thirty is the new eighteen
And red and white is the brand new black
Though I don't know what that means
And I hope losing is the brand new winning
'Cause he's wearin' my old blue jeans
And I'm beginning to think
That he is the brand new me
He's the new me

[Chorus]
I heard forty is the brand new thirty
And thirty is the new eighteen
And red and white is the brand new black
Though I don't know what that means
And I hope losing is the brand new winning
'Cause he's wearin' my old blue jeans
And I'm beginning to think
That he is the brand new me
He's the new me

[Outro]
The brand new me
He's the new me
The brand new me
The new me
