"A Hundred Second Chances"
(Lyrics and Music by Sam Mims, Copyright 2005 by Escape Goat Music, BMI)

I slammed the door and headed for California
I made you cry then I drove into the night
And even with two thousand miles of thinking
I couldn't dream of how we'd make things right
So I turned around and drove back home to Texas
Ready to say that this would be the end
And after those two thousand miles of teardrops
There you were with open arms again

You gave me a hundred second chances
I gave you excuses for everything under the sun
And after all those hundred second chances
You're still trying to love me and I'm still trying to be the one
But here I am asking for a hundred and one

It never seems enough to say I love you
It seems as if my best laid plans go wrong
So many times I've put myself above you
Learning to love is taking much too long

You gave me a hundred second chances
I gave you excuses for everything under the sun
And after all those hundred second chances
You're still trying to love me and I'm still trying to be the one
But here I am asking for a hundred and one

If people can change, then maybe I will
But if I don't I'm glad you're still
The most patient woman I have ever known

You gave me a hundred second chances
I gave you excuses for everything under the sun
And after all those hundred second chances
You're still trying to love me and I'm still trying to be the one
But here I am asking for a hundred and one
Here I am asking for a hundred and one
