Days of the New is a post-grunge rock band from Charlestown, Indiana (later relocated to Louisville, Kentucky), formed in 1995. They are best known for the hit singles "Touch, Peel and Stand" and "The Downtown," both from their self-titled debut album. Just one year after the original band's breakup, Meeks had assembled a new Days of the New and recorded a second album. Titled "Days of the New II", and often referred to as Green, this album was released in 1999 and had a variety of different styles of music. Many of the album's songs contained intros and codas to seamlessly carry into the next song.

Dirty Road Lyrics

Days Of The New

I've waited to say so long to the shame that owns you
Your limits are bound
there's more to be found inside of you
Give it some time

The voices seem heavy - I know this
If you play by your hour
it's where you begin not where you will end
Today

And I feel like I am living
where no one can find me
And I don't know how I've landed here
Sometimes I feel like
those good things are behind me
Is the road supposed to get better than this?
And i'll find
yes i I'll find
yes I will find

So long to your faith
Believe in yourself, no fantasy
Discovery blind
I hope you find
the truth here
Give it some time
believing and knowing are two different things

If you play by your hour
it's where you begin not where you will end
Today

Play by the silence
it's where you will end not where you begin
Get up and open your eyes
Don't let yourself ever fall down
Get through it and learn how to fly
I know you will find a way
Today

It's the same damn dirty road
I will find a way
