John Mellencamp - A Brand New Song lyrics

In the sweet belly of the moment When you realize you've changed And everything you're after Has gone down the drain You're nothing more than just a drifter As you walk down your road Not exactly the picture You thought you'd be sending home All these places mean nothing It's the people we count on Here without a purpose Gone without a song Yesterday seemed so sudden Today seems to have no end So you bu*ton up the bu*tons Say goodbye to what has been Those black and white pictures That file through your veins That's the trouble with the future It always stays the same And your pride's been shaken And those people you count on Here without a purpose And gone without a song Without a song In the uncertainty of a new day Opportunity may howl You hear the voice in a new way In the past you didn't know how You're old enough to know the difference Between and enemy and a friend With the eyes of knowledge upon you You're able to stand up again Life is always in motion And there's new people to count on Here you may find a purpose And sing a brand new song Life is always in motion New people to count on Here we find a purpose To sing a brand new song Brand new song Sing a brand new song
