What: Jim James, overall badass and frontman of My Morning Jacket, has a new solo album out called Regions Of Light And Sound Of God. Regions Of Light And Sound Of God is a concept album based on 1929 graphic novel, God’s Man. (I suspect you haven't read it, but if you have, wtf?). The best song off this album is "A New Life."

What are the lyrics to Jim James "A New Life":

Hey, open the door
I want a new life
Hey, and here’s what’s more
I want a new life, a new life
Babe, let’s get one thing clear
There’s much more star dust when you’re near
I think I’m really being sincere
I want a new life, ummm, a new life
With you

Mhm, hey, open the door
I want a new life
Hey, and here’s what’s more
I want a new life, a new life
Babe, let’s get one thing clear
There’s much more star dust when you’re near
I think I’m really being sincere
I want a new life, ummmm, a new life
With you

Can’t you see a perfect picture
You and me
But you know, it won’t come easy
And what’s more,
It’s worth looking for, uhu

Babe, open the door
And start you new life,
Oh, your new life
Babe, on the shore
And start your new life
Your new life, once more.
