Brand New Man
Brooks & Dunn Lyrics
I saw the light, I've been baptized
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
They say a country mile wide
I'd burn those beer joints down
That's all changed now
You turned my life around
Woah, I saw the light, I've been baptized
By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man
I used to love 'em and leave 'em
Woah, I'd brag about my freedom
How no one could tie me down
Then I met you
Now my heart beats true
Baby, you and me together
Feels more like forever
Than anything I've ever known
We're right on track
I ain't looking back
Yeah, I saw the light, I've been baptized
By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man
I saw the light, I've been baptized
By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man
Woah, I saw the light, I've been baptized
By the fire in your touch and the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

Known as providing one the defining sounds of modern country, they have since won the Vocal Duo Award of the Country Music Association every year between 1992 and 2005, with the exception of 2000 in which southern rock duo Montgomery Gentry took the honor. Other notable awards include the CMA Album of the Year award for 1994 and the Entertainer of the Year for 1996. As of 2004, they have won 19 CMA awards and remain the foremost duo in their genre.
Brooks & Dunn's music covers the full range of modern country music, and their chart-topping hits have included everything from the Ronan Keating-penned ballad "The Long Goodbye," through the Rivers Rutherford-written "Ain't Nothing About You," to the gospel music-influenced "Believe." They are also associated with being pioneers of the line dance craze of the mid-1990s. One of their hits, "Boot Scootin' Boogie" - the video for which was made in Tulsa, Oklahoma - is most emblematic of this style.
Both band members write, sing, and play guitar. One or both artists writes or co-writes a large majority of their material, and self-penned successes include the 2004 smash "Red Dirt Road" which the duo wrote together. Both artists have served as song-writers for other artists too. Ronnie Dunn co-wrote country superstar Toby Keith's song "Don't Leave I Think I Love You" which appeared on his 2003 album Shock'n Y'all. Dunn's vocal performances have tended to be released as radio singles: recent hits "You Can't Take the Honkytonk Out of The Girl," "Red Dirt Road," "It's Getting Better All The Time," "That's What It's All About," "Play Something Country," and "Believe" all feature Ronnie Dunn singing lead vocals.
Brooks & Dunn are renowned for their high-energy stage shows. Recent tours have featured Australian country singer Keith Urban, fellow duo Montgomery Gentry, and successful country newcomer Gretchen Wilson. Their latest Deuces Wild tour of 2005 featured fellow country duo Big and Rich. In 2006, the duo opened for the Rolling Stones at their Omaha, Nebraska show.
The duo's songs have been used by President George W Bush as his official campaign songs in both his election and re-election campaigns. In 2000, the then Texas Governor chose the blue-collar line-dance-friending hit of the mid-1990s, "Hard Workin' Man," and in 2004, the President selected the (pre-9/11) hit patriotic "Only in America." Brooks & Dunn both supported the President's re-election campaign, performing at a Republican rally featuring Laura Bush on the eve of the election.
Their latest album is Hillbilly Deluxe which features the number 1 single "Play Something Country."
On August 10, 2009, the duo issued a statement on their website announcing that they were splitting up after 20 years of making music together. The split was amicable, with a final album in September 2009 and a final tour in 2010.
On December 3, 2014, it was announced that Brooks & Dunn will reunite and perform a series of concerts in Las Vegas, Nevada with Reba McEntire throughout mid-late 2015. In 2016, they were selected as one of 30 artists to perform on "Forever Country", a mash-up track featuring the artists performing a medley of "Take Me Home, Country Roads", "On the Road Again", and "I Will Always Love You", which was released in celebration of 50 years of the CMA Awards.

I saw the light

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
That's all changed now
You turned my life around
Whoa, I saw the light

I'm a brand new man, yeah
I saw the light

By the fire in your touch
And the flame in your eyes
I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man
Yeah, I'm born to love again
I'm a brand new man

I sing this song to my wife almost every day. I usually hug her from behind and start swaying to the music in my head as I sing softly at first and then gently as I lean in to give her a kiss right behind her ear. Over years of doing this, I learned that women have 3 steps of emotional response to goofy love.
In the beginning, she would just stand there without much reaction, usually focusing on whatever she was doing at the time, usually cooking. She was never a music lover like me and really didn't listen to wholesome music for sure. She usually listened to filth like Jeezy, Gaga, Madonna, and the rest of the sexual perverts and Luciferians of the mainstream. In her defense she never really paid attention to the lyrics of that garbage but rather just enjoyed the music.
Back to my story on the 3 steps of recognition, the second step involved her just kind of smirking at me like, "really? again?" It wasn't hateful or rude... just... indifferent. I didn't care; I kept on professing my love through this and one or two other songs.
These days, (12 years this October), she not only drops what she's doing an dances with me, but she looks up at me with the most loving, beautiful, and wholesome eyes a man could ever hope to have staring back at him.
Great song and a great woman. I'm blessed to have both. Thank you, BD

I'm not a country music expert but this is so much more inspiring than the pop that passes for country nowdays.

I miss this kind of country. This was the country that played when I grew up.
