Second Chance Town

I USED TO PLAY BALL IN AN EMPTY LOT BY THE VFW
ONE DAY I HIT A FOUL AT THEIR FRONT WINDOW AND IT WENT RIGHT THROUGH
IT TOOK A SUMMER OF ME CUTTIN GRASS
TO PAY THOSE VETS FOR THE BROKEN GLASS
BUT THEY TOLD ME AND MY FRIENDS TO KEEP ON COMIN 'ROUND
THIS IS A SECOND CHANCE TOWN

I HELD MY FIRST JOB AT A HARDWARE STORE BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL
I HAD A BROKEN-DOWN CAMERO I WAS WORKIN ON AND I STOLE A COUPLE TOOLS
I WAS IN TROUBLE LIKE I'D NEVER BEEN
BUT MY BOSS CALLED ME BACK TO WORK AGAIN
HE SHOOK MY HAND AND SAID, "SON DON'T LET ME DOWN"
NOT IN A SECOND CHANCE TOWN

WHY I EVER LEFT I'LL NEVER KNOW
TROUBLE SEEMS TO FOLLOW ME EVERYWHERE I GO

I WAS TIRED AND HUNGRY I WAS FAR FROM HOME I TOOK SOMEBODYS CAR
I THOUGHT I'D DRIVE SOUTH AND SEE THE COAST BUT I DIDN'T GET TOO FAR
NOW I'M SITTING IN A COUNTY JAIL
I DON'T KNOW HOW I'M GONNA MAKE MY BAIL
PLEASE LORD LIFT ME UP AND SET ME ON THE GROUND
BACK IN MY SECOND CHANCE TOWN
I NEED MY SECOND CHANCE TOWN
JUST ONE MORE SECOND CHANCE NOW
