Version 1 of the lyrics

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

It says here your from Houston

It didn't say what you've been doing the last five years

Certified to drive a truck

Then I watched his eyes keep readin' then I watched his eyes look up

It didn't say what you've been doing

And I watched another job, I needed disappear

The last five years

Then I watched his eyes keep readin

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

Then I watched his eyes look up

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

And I watched another job I needed dissappear

Cause when you get to the line

Well, I ain't asking for every job under the sun

Have you've 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 twenty second, little Jacobs turning five

On August 22nd, little Jacobs turning 5

But his momma moved him half a state away

But his momma moved him 12 a state away

I left another message on the phone at home last night

I left another message

And she finally had her lawyer call today

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

She knows I can't afford to

take this thing to court

And I'm trying hard to make her understand

Well, I aint askin for every weekend

I ain't askin' for every weekend of every month

Of every month

I just want one, second chance

I was young and I was stupid, I regret it everyday

I was young and I was stupid

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

I regret it everyday

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

I Aint saying I didn't do it

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

But I paid for my mistakes

It's a lost and empty feeling

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

When they dont want you around

Sometimes it seems only like yesterday

Yea, I finally got the freedom

We were painting Jacobs nursery, counting the days till he was here

But what good is it now?

Next thing I knew, I'd thrown it all away

There are somedays when it feels

Now I know, I can't go back to the life I used to have

like it's been 100 years

When I stood and held the whole world in my hands

Sometimes it seems like only yesterday

We were painting Jacobs nursery

I had a job, I had a wife, I had a son

Counting the days till he was here

Now I just want one, second chance

Next thing I knew I went

and threw 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
