Jeff Bates Leave the Light On One Seond Chance It says here you're from Houston, you're certified to drive a truck It doesn't say what you've been doin' the past 5 years. Then I watched his eyes keep readin' then I watched his eyes look up And watched another job I needed, disappear Cuz when they get to the line, have you been convicted of a crime? They say thanks for comin' in, and they don't call ya back I aint askin' for every job under the sun, I just want one second chance On August 22nd little Jake is turnin' five But his momma moved him half a state away And 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 That 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 every day I aint sayin' I didn't do it But I 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? There's some days when it feels like it's been a hundred years And sometimes it feels like only yesterday We were paintin' Jacob's nursery, countin' days till he was here Next thing I knew I threw 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. |
