Second Chance Lyrics - Rickie Lee Jones

Summertime and everything is sweet 

Walking barefoot to the circle k 

On the burning street 

Summertime and everything's on fire 

This town is a drive-by for the 

Whole inland empire 

But down on the boulevard 

They take it very hard 

but it's alright, it's OK 

I was going to move out of here anyway 

Don't look at me, I've got nothing to say 

Countdown to ecstasy 

They are very rich, those boys uptown 

They got so much now they wanna 

Let it trickle down 

La la la la la la 

Summertime and everything is chill 

Cops and gangsters cruising 

Everybody's dressed to kill 

Summertime and everything is cool 

In the halfway house for sex offenders 

By the school 

They're laughing, they're dancing 

They're calling everyone 

Step right up, don't be shy 

Buy a second chance 

You need a favor? 

I got a guy 

Who can buy you a second chance... 

But it's alright with me 

If they lock you up 

Then I can be free 

Six of you 

Half a dozen of me 

So count down... 

Alright, OK, 

I was gonna move out of there anyway 

Don't look at me 

I've got nothing to say 

As you countdown to ecstasy 

Countdown to ecstasy
