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 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 betta get out! I'm gonna be someone, have my day in the sun Whatever, you won't know if you won'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 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!
