New Life
Beth Marie Anderson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I packed a few things in my car, some said I wouldn't get that far
I didn't listen, cuz sometimes you've gotta listen to your heart
Well I know it's waiting just around the bend, I can almost taste it I am closing in
So I close my eyes and dream about this brand new life

I've got new beginnings
I've got second chances
I've got new horizons just waiting for me
I'll make new memories
I'll have new adventures
I'll be happy knowing everything's alright
In my brand new life

I know I chose a tougher road, but something told me I should go
I wanna live my life and have my story told
Well it might sound crazy but it makes sense to me
I love this town but I've gotta chase my dreams

I've got new beginnings
I've got second chances
I've got new horizons just waiting for me
I'll make new memories
I'll have new adventures
I'll be happy knowing everything's alright
In my brand new life

I saw the sunset in my rear view mirror
And suddenly I see life a little clearer

I've got new beginnings
And second chances
New Horizons just waiting for me
New beginnings
I've got second chances
I've got new horizons just waiting for me
I'll make new memories
I'll have new adventures
I'll be happy knowing everything's alright




In my brand new life
In my brand new life
