IT SAYS HERE
YOU'RE FROM HOUSTON
YOU'RE CERTIFIED
TO DRIVE A TRUCK
IT DOESN'T SAY
WHAT YOU BEEN DOIN'
THE LAST FIVE YEARS
THEN I WATCHED
HIS EYES KEEP READIN'
THEN I WATCHED
HIS EYES LOOK UP
AND WATCHED
ANOTHER JOB I NEEDED
DISAPPEAR
'CAUSE WHEN THEY GET
TO THE LINE
HAVE YOU BEEN
CONVICTED OF A CRIME
THEY SAY THANKS
FOR COMIN' IN
AND THEY DON'T
CALL YOU BACK
I AIN'T ASKIN'
FOR EVERY JOB
UNDER THE SUN
I JUST WANT ONE
SECOND CHANCE
ON AUGUST
TWENTY-SECOND
LITTLE JACOB'S
TURNIN' FIVE
BUT HIS MAMA
MOVED HIM
HALF 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 TRYIN' HARD
TO MAKE HER
UNDERSTAND
I AIN'T ASKIN'
FOR EVERY WEEKEND
OF EVERY MONTH
I JUST WANT ONE
SECOND CHANCE
I WAS YOUNG
AND I WAS STUPID
I REGRET IT EVERY DAY
I AIN'T SAYIN'
I DIDN'T DO IT
BUT I'VE PAID
FOR MY MISTAKES
IT'S A LOST
AND EMPTY FEELIN'
WHEN THEY DON'T
WANT YOU AROUND
YEAH I FINALLY GOT
MY FREEDOM
BUT WHAT GOOD
IS IT NOW
4 BAR
BREAK
THERE'S SOME DAYS
WHEN IT FEELS LIKE
IT'S BEEN
A HUNDRED YEARS
SOMETIMES IT SEEMS
LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY
WE WERE PAINTIN'
JACOB'S NURSERY
COUNTIN' DAYS
'TIL HE WAS HERE
NEXT THING I KNEW
I'D THROWN IT ALL AWAY
NOW I KNOW I CAN'T
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
