[00:08.12]It says here you're from Houston
[00:09.04]And you're certified to drive a truck
[00:11.74]But it doesn't say what you've been doin'
[00:14.41]For the last five years
[00:18.15]Then he watched his eyes keep readin'
[00:21.48]Then he watched his eyes look up
[00:25.13]And he watched another job he needed just disappear
[00:30.56]'Cause when they get to the line
[00:34.16]Have you been convicted of a crime
[00:36.89]They say thanks for comin' and they don't call you back
[00:43.22]I ain't askin' for every job under the sun
[00:48.66]I just want one
[00:52.27]Second chance
[00:59.55]On august 22nd
[01:02.26]Little Jacob's turnin' five
[01:05.81]But his momma moved him
[01:07.67]Half a state away
[01:12.13]I left another message
[01:14.90]On her phone at home last night
[01:17.67]And she finally had her lawyer
[01:21.25]Call today
[01:24.92]She knows I can't afford
[01:29.20]To take this thing to court
[01:31.15]And I'm tryin' hard to make her understand
[01:36.51]I'm not askin' for every weekend of every month
[01:42.97]I just want one
[01:46.51]Second chance
[01:49.26]I was young and I was stupid
[01:53.78]I regret it everyday
[01:55.69]I ain't saying I didn't do it
[01:59.27]But I've paid for my mistakes
[02:01.90]It's a lost and empty feeling when they don't want you around
[02:11.03]I've finally got my freedom but what good is it now
[02:30.91]There's some day's when it feels like it's been a 100 years
[02:36.41]Sometimes it seems like only yesterday
[02:42.78]We were painting Jacob's nursery
[02:46.30]Counting days until he was here
[02:49.05]Next thing I knew I'd thrown it all away
[02:55.45]Now I know I can't go back
[02:59.05]To the life I used to have
[03:02.65]When I still held the whole world in my hands
[03:08.18]I had a job I had a wife I had a son
[03:13.52]Now I just want one
[03:18.02]Second chance
