My first day out it rained
Eight years on a chain
For a crime that wasn't mind, I did the time
As the door swung shut behind me
I was left so lonely
No one remembered, no one was there
To hear my please to hear my prayers
I'll begin again
I was headed here from the start
I'll begin again
I paid my price for my part
[x2]
Not a dollar to my name
I suppose I can't complain
My life again was mine
And that's just fine
As I knocked on my mother's door
She didn't live there anymore
A second mortgage to fund appeals that got no deal
I'll begin again
I was headed here from the start
I'll begin again
I paid my price for my part
[x2]
I'll begin again from the start!
I'll begin again
I was headed here from the start
I'll begin again
I paid my price for my part
[x2]
I'll begin again (I'll begin again)
