This is my same old coat And my same old shoes I was the same old me With the same old blues And then you touched my life Just by holding my hand And oh I look in the mirror and see Brand new girl, I got a brand new voice A brand new smile Since I found you I've got a brand new style Just because of you boy Just because of you Just because of you boy Just because of you I've got the same old friends They got the same old sins I tell the same old jokes Get the same old grins But now the joke's on you And the laughter does too Every day of my life As as fresh as morning dew Just because of you boy Just because of you Just because of you boy Just because of you Just because of you boy Just because of you I go to the same old places To see the same old faces Look at the same old skies See them all with brand new lives
