about

The song is about measuring time in garbage days, strained family relationships, and hedging one's bets about the existence of an afterlife by trying to be a decent human being in the here and now.

lyrics

When we spoke today you told me you were doin' fine
But I know that's a lie because you're so far from youself
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 coming 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
That is why you'll always be the better man

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

"Can You Find A Way" DELUXE (2023)
by Billy the Kid

supported by 4 fans who also own “Second Time Around”

This album is amazing start to finish. Billy has such a way to capture and hold your attention. Hospital is an amazing personal story that hits you in the feels. And if you know you know, Take The Money, is an AMAZING (diss) track that just needs repeat listens to bask in the glory. Chad Bishop
