Lyrics

As a boy he tried to follow the rules
As a young man tried not to get caught
Now, he just tries

As a boy he knew love once
And as a man loved twice again
Now he just loves trying

CHORUS: Turn around, and then it's over
Some things don't come back again
Turn around, and all that's left to do
Is look ahead and make Amends.

Left home before his sister was born
Left New York before he'd known it
Now he just leaves

Used to be sorry for things he'd done
Used to be sorry for who he'd hurt
Now he's just sorry for leaving

CHORUS

Instr.

CHORUS

Used to take chances out on the road
Sure took a chance on me
Now he takes no chances

Used to want more than was given to him
Used to want more for his dollar
Now he just wants a second chance.
