It says here you're from Houston And you're certified to drive a truck But it doesn't say what you've been doin' For the last five years Then he watched his eyes keep readin' Then he watched his eyes look up And he watched another job he needed just disappear ‘Cause when they get to the line Have you been convicted of a crime They say thanks for comin' 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 22nd Little Jacob's turnin' nine But his momma moved him A 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 he can't afford To take this thing to court And I'm tryin' hard to make her understand I'm not 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've paid for my mistakes It's a lost and empty feeling when they don't want you around I've finally got my freedom but what good is it now There's some day's when it feels like it's been a 100 years Sometimes it seems like only yesterday We were painting Jacob's nursery Counting days until 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
