Johnny had a plan
Going to see the world
Knew he had to go
Going to take his girl
And they'd make their way to ontario
She said, why you looking at me that way?
You're going to go or you're going to 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 he flagged a ride
On an eastbound freight going anywhere
Driving through the night
Through the wind and rain
It took him all the way there
Counting 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, give your head a shake
Get up, get up, get up, it's a brand new day
It's a brand new day
What you thinking about?
Man you better get out
I'm going to be someone
Have my day in the sun
Well, you won't know if you don't try
So bye bye baby
Bye bye baby, bye bye
Sometimes he'd lay awake
Thinking about the things that he never told her
So on a starry night from a noisy bar
He 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
Go find a better way
Turn down bye bye
Bye bye baby, bye bye
It's a brand new day
