Second Chance

I wake to heartache each day of my life It’s been the same since I was a child No father figure that I recall Just the abuse and the drunken brawls I just wish that I could change it all Back the way I want it to be Just me and mum and my sisters too Here I lay no place to call home Sick of coming down all alone I need a fix my aching bones Yea!!! One big happy family Back the way it should have been Just me and mum and my sisters too My home today is six by four Bars all around and a lock on the door Do as you’re told every single day Cause if you don’t there’s hell to be payed I just wish that I could change it all Back the way I want it to be Just me and mum and my sisters too I’m not to proud of the road I walk Hurt to many people the way I live It’s time for me to be a man Yes it’s time for my little man Yes It’s time for him to have a dad It’s time to be there for my little man It’s time for me to be a man Yes it’s time for my little man Yes It’s time for him to have a dad It’s time to be there for my little man Yea!!! One big happy family Back the way it should have been Just me and mum and my sisters too
