Jeff Bates - One Second Chance

Jeff Bates

One Second Chance

It says here your from Houston
You're certified to drive a truck
It doesn't say what you've been doing
The last five years
Then I watched his eyes keep readin
Then I watched his eyes look up
And watched another job I needed dissappear
Cause when they get to the line
Have you been convicted of a crime
They say Thanks for comming in
and they don't call you back
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 her phone at home last night and
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
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
I aint saying I didn't do it
But I've paid for my mistakes
It's a lost and empty feeling
When they dont want you around
Yea, I finally got my freedom
But what good is it now?

There's somedays when it feels like it's been 100 yrs
Sometimes it seems like only yesterday
We were painting Jacobs nursery
Counting days till he was here
Next thing I knew I'd thrown it all away
Now I know I cant go back
To the life I used to have
When I still held the whole world in my hands

I had a job
I had a wife
I had a son
Now I just want one
Second chance

Mirror lyrics:

Second chance
Now I just want one
I had a son
I had a wife
I had a job

When I still held the whole world in my hands
To the life I used to have
Now I know I cant go back
Next thing I knew I'd thrown it all away
Counting days till he was here
We were painting Jacobs nursery
Sometimes it seems like only yesterday
There's somedays when it feels like it's been 100 yrs

But what good is it now?
Yea, I finally got my freedom
When they dont want you around
It's a lost and empty feeling
But I've paid for my mistakes
I aint saying I didn't do it
I regret it everyday
I was young and I was stupid

I just want one, second chance
Of every month
I aint askin for every weekend
And I'm trying hard to make her understand
She knows I can't afford to take this thing to court
She finally had her lawyer call today
On her phone at home last night and
I left another message
But his momma moved him 1/2 a state away
On August 22nd, little Jacobs turning 5

I just want one, second chance
Under the sun
I aint asking for every job
and they don't call you back
They say Thanks for comming in
Have you been convicted of a crime
Cause when they get to the line
And watched another job I needed dissappear
Then I watched his eyes look up
Then I watched his eyes keep readin
The last five years
It doesn't say what you've been doing
You're certified to drive a truck
It says here your from Houston
