Today will be the first day of the rest of my life

I'm walkin' in fields of clover watchin' clouds go driftin' over
Listening as a songbird sings a special song for me
Catchin' all the rays of sunshine breathin' fresh air feelin' real fine
Can't remember when i felt so loose and fancy free

I loved him and i left him though it wasn't my idea you know it
Took a little pushin' from his side
Though it took a little while i soon remembered how to smile
And today will be the first day of the rest of my life

Cause today will be the first day of the rest of my life
I'm gonna start all over and this time i'll do it right
Thought i couldn't live without him then i saw the light
And today will be the first day of the rest of my life

At first i thought i had a true one can't remember when i knew one
That i loved and trusted like i did that man of mine
Then there came the first suspicions i was sensing new additions
To his list of female friends i estimated nine

He lead me round by chain and collar spent my every dollar
Till i realized i wasn't very bright
I'm so glad i did wake up soon it would have been too late
And today will be the first day of the rest of my life
