I used to smile and I used to dream I had high hopes about the man that I could be I fell in the river and I got pulled down but I keep my head up, the second time around I had good intentions but I lost my way if I ever saw a blue sky I turned it gray I wrote my luck, and my luck run out So Im gonna do it different the second time around Oohh Im not letting you down Oohh Im not letting you down The second time around Sometimes forgivness is hard to find My pain and misery dont wanna be left behind This song I singing is a constsnt sound But I keep on trying the second time around Oohh Im not letting you down Oohh Im not letting you down The second time around
