What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
It says here you're from Houston
2
And you're certified to drive a truck
3
But it doesn't say what you've been doin'
4
For the last five years
5
Then he watched his eyes keep readin'
6
Then he watched his eyes look up
7
And he watched another job he needed just disappear
8
"˜Cause when they get to the line
9
Have you been convicted of a crime
10
They say thanks for comin' and they don't call you back
11
I ain't askin' for every job under the sun
12
I just want one
13
Second chance
14
On august 22nd
15
Little Jacob's turnin' nine
16
But his momma moved him
17
A half a state away
18
I left another message
19
On her phone at home last night
20
And she finally had her lawyer
21
Call today
22
She knows he can't afford
23
To take this thing to court
24
And I'm tryin' hard to make her understand
25
I'm not askin' for every weekend of every month
26
I just want one
27
Second chance
28
I was young and I was stupid
29
I regret it everyday
30
I ain't saying I didn't do it
31
But I've paid for my mistakes
32
It's a lost and empty feeling when they don't want you around
33
I've finally got my freedom but what good is it now
34
There's some day's when it feels like it's been a 100 years
35
Sometimes it seems like only yesterday
36
We were painting Jacob's nursery
37
Counting days until he was here
38
Next thing I knew I'd thrown it all away
39
Now I know I can't go back
40
To the life I used to have
41
When I still held the whole world in my hands
42
I had a job I had a wife I had a son
43
Now I just want one
44
Second chance
