Charlie Robison - Brand New Me lyrics

This is such a small, small town
When you're tryin' to lose your past
Girl, I've seen you around
You sure moved on pretty fast
Willie said he met your new boy
Told me he ain't so bad
Said you're so happy now
Best thing you ever knew
Well, this love you've found
It looks so good on you
Been feelin' a little lonely and out
Wonderin' if I could do it all again

They say forty is the brand new thirty
And thirty is the new eighteen
And red and white is the brand new black
Though I don't know what that means
And I hope losing is the brand new winning
'Cause he's wearin' my old blue jeans
And I'm beginning to think
That he is the brand new me he's the new me

This old ideal
That's just the new making do
And this here see you around
Is just an old I love you
And an old sweet love song
Is today's forgotten tune
But what's gone is gone
'Til it rolls right back around again
And them old sleepless nights
Are just like a long-lost friend
Last year's happy man
Is this year's lovesick fool

They say forty is the brand new thirty
And thirty is the new eighteen
And red and white is the brand new black
Though I don't know what that means
And I hope losing is the brand new winning
'Cause he's wearin' my old blue jeans
And I'm beginning to think
That he is the brand new me he's the new me

They say forty is the brand new thirty
And thirty is the new eighteen
And red and white is the brand new black
Though I don't know what that means
And I hope losing is the brand new winning
'Cause he's wearin' my old blue jeans
And I'm beginning to think
That he is the brand new me he's the new me
He's the new me
