I never thought a man could lose the sweat I lost today

Working for my dear old dad, puttin' in that hay

He said, "Son, you better get your rest, we got it all to do again"

But I know, when darkness comes, I'll get my second wind

An achin' back, calloused hands, the sunburn and the heat

All will be forgotten when I sweep her off her feet

There's something 'bout a summer night that'll get you through the day

A shower and my cowboys boots, and I'll be wide awake

Second wind to get you goin', live to love to another night

Second wind, my blood is flowin', I just wanna hold her tight

Tomorrow I might feel like hell, but I'll worry 'bout it then

When the shadows fall and the neon's bright, I'll get my second wind

As I'm headed to the barn, payin' for my night of fun

Dreadin' what's ahead today, but lovin' what I've done

My candle's just too hot to hold, it's a-burning at both ends

But I know tonight when the sun goes down, I'll get my second wind

Second wind to get you goin', live to love to another night

Second wind, my blood is flowin', I just wanna hold her tight

Tomorrow I might feel like hell, but I'll worry 'bout it then

When the shadows fall and the neon's bright, I'll get my second wind
