Second Time Around Lyrics

When we spoke today you told me you were doing fine

But I know that's a lie because you're so far from yourself

Your situations' been a little worse than mine

You're stranded back where we grew up

I'd rather be in hell

You cried the night that mama said you'd never get to heaven

Unless you change the way you live and look and dress and sound

And if you don't make things right before you leave this life behind

There won't be a second time around

But you've been gone half a dozen garbage days

And now they say there's another wave comin down the line

I guess the great indoors is calling out my name

I'm better off alone according to my troubled mind

But I'm not changing my story just so I can go to heaven

It's hard to believe that it's as perfect as it sounds

I wanna get a few things right before I leave this life behind

In case there ain't no second time around

You stayed by her side until the end

And that is why you'll always be the better man

But I won't say that I'm sorry just so I can go to heaven

It's hard to believe that it's as perfect as it sounds

I'm gonna get a few things right before I leave this life behind

In case there ain't no second time around

In case there ain't no second time around
