Jeff Bates - One Second Chance lyrics
It says here your from Houston Certified to drive a truck It didn't say what ou've been doing The last five years Then I watched his eyes keep readin Then I watched his eyes look up Mustive known the job I needed, Cause when you get to the line When you've been convicted of a crime He said Thanks for comming in I'll call you back Well, I aint asking for every job Under the sun I just want one, second chance On August 22nd, little Jacobs turning 5 But his momma moved him 1/2 a state away I left another message On the phone late last night She finally had her lawyer call today She knows I can't afford to take this thing to court And I'm trying hard to make her understand Well, I aint askin for every weekend Of every month I just want one, second chance I was young and I was stupid I regret it everyday Aint saying I didn't do it But I paid for my mistakes It's a lost and empty feeling When they dont want you around Yea, I finally got the freedom But what good is it now? There are somedays when it feels like it's been 100 yrs Sometimes it only seems like yesterday We were painting Jacobs nursery Counting the days till he was here Next thing I knew I was throwing it all away Now I know I cant go back To the life I used to have When I stood and held the whole world in my hands I had a job I had a wife I had a son I just want one Second chance |
