Johnny had a plan
gonna see the world
he knew he had to go
Gonna take his girl and
then make the walk
to Ontario
She said
"Why are you looking
at me that way?
You gonna go
or you gonna stay?"
Get up, get up, get up
hear what I say wake up
wake up, wake up
go find a better way
Get up, get up, get up
it's a brand new day!
So we fly tonight
on an east bound fray
going anywhere
Driving through the night
through the wind and rain
and took him
all the way there
Gone in the hours
as the miles slipped away
in the sound
of the wheels
he could still hear her say
Get up, get up, get up
whatever it takes wake up
wake up, wake up
Can your head shake?
Get up, get up, get up
it's a brand new day!
It's a brand new day
Whatcha thinkin' about
man you better get out!
I'm gonna be someone
have my day in the sun
Whatever
you won't know
if you don't try
so bye, bye baby
bye, bye baby, bye, bye
Sometimes you lay awake
thinkin' 'bout the things
that you never told her
So on a starry night
from the noisy bar
you telephoned her
"You could come down
I'll meet your train"
She just laughed and said
"Some people
never change"
Get up, get up, get up
hear what I say wake up
wake up, wake up
go find a better way
Get up, get up, get up
it's a brand new day
It's a brand new day
We gotta find
a better way
Turn down bye bye
bye, bye baby, bye, bye
it's a brand new day!
It's a brand new day!
