lyrics

New years day came, like the one before
Hungover from champagne, a strangers dress on the floor
I sit here and wait, for the knock at the door
Second chances, don't come around here no more
When I was young, the world was my stage
I could charm anyone, with a smile and a wave
But now that I'm older, that charm has decayed
Second chances, don't come around here no more
All of my dreams, are like spinning plates
To keep them alive, I had to quicken the pace
But I lost a step, and with it the race
Second chances, don't come around here no more
Routine is a dagger, to the creative mind
I had a labotomy, to fall into line
The simple life, is simply to die
Second chances, don't come around here no more
A gypsy once told me, the secret to youth
Is to keep moving, or you'll set and take root
Like an old maple, with the same old view
Second chances, don't come around here no more
If you can relate, then your too old
If you can't, time will tell you so
I'm like the wind, you can feel but can't hold
Second chances, don't come around here no more

Shawn Irwin Austin, Texas

Hello, I'm a singer/songwriter from the Big Timber. My music is my therapy, or more like turning piss into lemonade. My lyrics read like a secret diary exposed by a scorn lover. Tainted love aside, there are other tales of truckers, ghosts, and a search for a calm place to ride out the storm. I may be strange, but I think that's what makes me unique. Listen and judge for yourself. ... more
