Jeff Bates - One Second Chance Lyrics

Send "One Second Chance" ringtone to your cell

It says here you're from houston certified to drive a truck

It didn'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 i watched another job i needed disappear

'cause when you get to the line have you've been convicted of a crime?

They say thanks for comin' in and they don't call you back

Well i ain't asking for every job under the sun

I just want one second chance

On august twenty second little jacobs turning five

But his momma moved him half a state away

I left another message on the 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 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 everyday

I ain't saying i didn't do it but i paid for my mistakes

It's a lost and empty feeling when they don't want you around

Yeah i finally got my freedom but what good is it now?

There're some days when it feels like it's been 100 years

Sometimes it seems only like yesterday

We were painting jacobs nursery counting the days till 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 stood and 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
