Jeff Bates - One Second Chance

It says here your 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 dissappear
Cause when you get to the line

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 22nd, little Jacobs turning 5
But his momma moved him 1&2 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
Well, 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 everyday
I Aint saying I didn't do it
But I paid for my mistakes
