Second Time Around

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 situation's 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
