Lyrics

"Second Chances"
(Mack Reynolds & Andrew Wolf)

V1
If I could put my life on rewind
Roll it back a few times
Talk some sense to younger me
I'd say your road is winding
It takes some time to find it
Don't give up too easily

V2
That girl you love in tenth grade
Red hair tied in French braids
Best thing that happens to you
One foolish night will blow it
And you never quite get over
That self-inflicted wound

CHORUS
But life gives you second chances
And time to make amends
You won't always have answers
Or know the story's end
Get on your knees at bed time
Wake up and seize each day
You'll get second chances
Life is not a one-act play

V3
When coach cuts you from baseball
Got nothin' left to live for
You'll pick up Dad's guitar
You have no way of knowin'
Just where you both are goin'
That you'll ever come this far

V4
That hotel gig in Memphis
Spot a girl at breakfast
Red hair with a touch of gray
You ask to buy her coffee
You two get to talking
She's with you to this day

CHORUS

Life gives you second chances
And time to make amends
You won't always have answers
Or know the story's end
Get on your knees at bed time
Wake up and seize each day
You'll get second chances
Life is not a one-act play
You'll get second chances
Life is not a one-act play
