Lyrics[]

It'd take about a million midnights
And a good long whiskey rain
It's gonna take a hurricane
The sky so blue
And I'll be just like new
It might take every inch of Texas
And the dark side of the moon
I'm gonna find a place I ain't missing you
And I'll be just like new
When the sun stops shining
When the liars quit lying
When I finally face the truth
I'll be pushing up roses
When I start getting over you
And I'll be just like new

New (ooohhh)

I'm praying for a tree to grow a dollar
I'm hoping for a cold California summer
I'm wishing for a heart that ain't broken in two
And I'll be just like new
When the sun stops shining
When the liars quit lying
When I finally face the truth
I'll be pushing up roses
When I start getting over you
And I'll be just like new

New (ooooohhh)

When the sun stops shining
When the liars quit lying
When I finally face the truth
I'll be pushing up roses
When I start getting over you
And I'll be just like new
Just like new
Just like new
