about

This was written on my day off on a beautiful spring morning last May 2014 exactly how the song opens, about the coffee and letting the dog out. I had the basic tracks down a day or two prior and was just waiting for the words to pop.
The next verse was taken from my college son's vocabulary ("turn up"), "burn up" was just slang from my days as a pot smoker. "Shake it for the money" comes from my wife and I's dice shakes at the local bar, and the "coming back around" thing is just a feel good line about karma.

lyrics

Brand New Day

Get up
wake up
hit the morning clean air
grab a cup of coffee
let the dog do her thing
the sun is a rising
birds are talking to ya
telling you to look at
this amazing place we're in

It's a brand new day
everything's gonna be ok
pay the bills another day
don't worry 'bout what others say
cause it's a brand new day
look at life a different way
and not the games that people play
'cause it's a brand new day! Whew!

Turn up burn up
shake it for the money
tell your lovely lady
"this my dear is just for you"
when she feels it
she will give it right back
coming back around
to bring a smile to your face

It's a brand new day
everything's gonna be ok
pay the bills another day
don't worry 'bout what others say
cause it's a brand new day
look at life a different way
and not the games that people play
'cause it's a brand new day!
