Second Chance

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She was gone too soon Like a secondhand record By a band that you really love And the change I thought was coming Wasn't coming 'less something caught her Like a brand she'd heard of She was part of that machine Red-handed at the scene No acquittal 'cause it fit like a glove There were ropes 'round her case With alarms just in case Were a way, she escaped up above [Chorus] Now she's running down south With a song in her mouth And when shе gets there Wе'll all dance, yeah, we'll all dance And it won't feel nothin' like a second chance Ain't nothin' like a second chance [Verse 2] There were the high school friends Always caught up in trends Who were stuck like unfortunate tattoos And the evil stepmother Who shared only with her brothers The fortune she fell into Her father thought his daughter Was an angel 'til he caught her Found out all those rumors were true She begged 'em all for forgiveness But she knew she'd never live this Down, giving those devils their due [Chorus] Now she's running down south With a song in her mouth And when she gets there We'll all dance, yeah, we'll all dance And it won't feel nothin' like a second chance Ain't nothin' like a second chance [Interlude] [Verse 3] I was third on her list And I was quick to insist That she came in, it would be short and sweet She brought a couple 45s Brought back memories of drives That we took before she moved off our street We listened all the way through Sang the choruses too 'Bout holding hands at night in the heat And when the record started scratching I could tell by her reaction That night would make my failure complete [Chorus] Now we're running down south With a song in our mouths And when we get there We'll all dance, yeah, we'll all dance And it won't feel nothin' like a second chance Ain't nothin' like a second chance [Outro] We'll all dance, yeah, we'll all dance And it won't feel nothin' like a second chance Ain't nothin' like a second chance
