It says here your from Houston
Certified to drive a truck
It didn`t say what ou`ve been doing
The last five years
Then I watched his eyes keep readin
Then I watched his eyes look up
Mustive known the job I needed,
Cause when you get to the line
When you`ve been convicted of a crime
He said Thanks for comming in
I`ll call you back
Well, 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 late last night
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
Aint saying I didn`t do it
But I paid for my mistakes
It`s a lost and empty feeling
When they dont want you around
Yea, I finally got the freedom
But what good is it now?
There are somedays when it feels like it`s been 100 yrs
Sometimes it only seems like yesterday
We were painting Jacobs nursery
Counting the days till he was here
Next thing I knew I was throwing it all away
Now I know I cant go back
To the life I used to have
When I stood and held the whole world in my hands
