Lyrics
"DO I HAVE A CHANCE" [verse1] from a children's home in tennesee he sings to the wind. the only comfort he ever got came from withen. when he'd sing about loving and having a life. of a mother and a father to tuck him in at night. he only imagines the joy that would bring. and what kind of songs he would sing. it's been ten years now and he's fourteen years old. the tell him that his mother is taking him home. with a tear in his eye and a smile on his face. he jumps in that old mustang and they embrace. he ask if he has any uncles and aunt's. and momma do you think i have a chance. [chorus] do i have a chance to know what it's like. do i have a shot at a better life. should i even try are should i give up. do i have a chance at being loved. is thier enough time are is it too late. do i have a chance to get my life stright. [verse 2] well home was not heaven it was a far cry of that. he was sleeping in the living room on a old worn out mat. momma had a husband who would steal from the pope. instead of buying dinner he's buy something to smoke. by the time he turned fifteen he had run away from home. kept the dream in his heart of singing his songs. by the time he turned sixteen he was falling in love. with a girl from work who tought him so much. she tought him about love that girl was his world. man he wrote so many songs about that girl. and every song he'd sing her put a smile on her face. and tonight he ask her before he takes that stage.. [chorus] do i have a chance to know what it's like. do i have a shot on this stage tonight. should i even try are should i give up. do i have a chance at being loved. is thier enough time are is it too late. do i have a chance at the big break. [verse 3] from a children's home in tennessee he sings to the kids. and tells them that he know's excactly where they have been. that he's walked in thier same shoes a long time ago. but look at me now and remember you still have hope. [chorus] so yeah you have a chance to know what it's like. and yeah you have a shot at a better life, yeah you should try and don't give up. cause you always have a chance of being loved. thier is plenty of time it's never to late. you got your whole life to make things strait written by:mark west @copyright2006
