Brand New Man lyrics

Chorus:
I saw the light
I've been baptised
By the fire in your touch
And the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

Well the whole town's talking
'Bout the line I'm walking
That leads right to your door
Oh how I used to roam
I was a rolling stone

I used to have a wild side
They say a country-mile-wide
I'd burn those beer joints
down

You picked me up, you shot
me down
You're stepping out all over
town
Drove me back to drinking in
this bar
I found myself a brand new
friend
I'm headed that road again
Working on my next broken
heart

Happy or sad, it's hard to tell
You taught me how to hurt
so well
But when it comes to love
I know my part
I'll play this game that I can't
win
I'll be somebody's fool again

I bought my girl a diamond, it was our engagement ring
She took it to a pawn shop, like it didn't mean a thing
She went right out and bought herself
A brand new party dress
She'll be looking good tonight
When we go out I guess

She's a cool drink of water
She's done hocked the ring I bought her
She might be the devil's daughter
But she's a cool drink of water

He left you - she left me
Drowning in this misery
We stopped living
When they said goodbye
We've been faithful to these blues
But I've had enough - now how about you
Don't you think we've earned the right
To go cheating on the blues tonight
Cheating on the blues tonight
Let's go out and do it right
Throw it into overdrive
And get on down the road
Shake it till the break of dawn

When the sun goes down
On my side of town
That lonesome feeling
Comes to my door
The whole world turns blue

There's a rundown bar
Cross the railroad tracks
I've got a table for two
Way in the back
Where I sit alone
And think of losing you

I spend most every night
Beneath the light
Of this neon moon

If you lose your one and only
There's always room here for
the lonely

I lost her trail on a Friday night
She was gone before I got home
She'd been getting restless
In that big house all alone
I've been up and down these city streets
For three nights in a row
And lord it's hard to find that girl
When she gets the urge to go

It's kinda like a lost and found
In a border town
Askin' bout a diamond ring
They just look at you
Like you've lost your mind

These honky tonks and bright lights
Used to thrill me
I'd paint the town and stumble in at down
But now there's no one listening for my footsteps
It's winding down to one more night alone

I thought I had her wrapped around my finger
I didn't think this bridge would ever burn
I always thought she'd take me back
But she taught me the cold hard fact

I got whiskey to keep me warm when the sun goes down
And this God forsaken honky tonk ain't likely to run out
So won't you come on home and save me
Stop me before I drown
'Cause I'm no good, pretty mama
When you're not around
And there's women in this town whispering in my ear
Saying things a man in my condition likes to hear
So won't you come on home and stop me
Before I step on out

My taxicab's waiting
Wish I could hold you one last time
After all we had together
There's gotta be a better way
Of telling you goodbye

If I had a horse
I'd ride off in the sunset
If I had wings, I'd fly off
In the sky so blue
If I had the time, I'd spend my
Whole life dreaming
But I'd wake up, still in love with you

Be in Baton Rouge by morning
Hope your missing me by then
