Lyrics

Serve me up another brilliant day
Nothing and nobody can get in my way
Hand me down my guitar I'm getting' ready to play
Here comes another brilliant day

The sun shone bright on that December morn
And the wind that blew was unnaturally warm
I went out for a walk to keep my blues at bay
When somebody remarked it was a brilliant day

The bricks and mortar of life were getting me down
Somebody else's agenda I was dragging around
When the smile of child took my breath away
It's just another brilliant day

Serve me up another brilliant day
Nothing and nobody can get in my way
Hand me down my guitar I'm getting' ready to play
Here comes another brilliant day

Standing at the crossroads of this trail
Like Robert Johnson before me Hellhounds on my tail
If the devil shows up I'll just send him away
Not even he can spoil this brilliant day

Serve me up another brilliant day
Nothing and nobody can get in my way
Hand me down my guitar I'm getting' ready to play
Here comes another brilliant day

I was taking stock of the things in my life
The house the car the dog two kids and a wife
There the good parts is what I'm trying to say
It's just another brilliant day

Serve me up another brilliant day
Nothing and nobody can get in my way
Hand me down my guitar I'm getting' ready to play
Here comes another brilliant day

Serve me up another brilliant day
Nothing and nobody can get in my way
Hand me down my guitar I'm getting' ready to play
Here comes another brilliant day
