Lyrics

Second Chance Salvage
© Marissa Kochanski and Rob Heath

Verse
She said to him, ?Sir, I really need work
And I?m awfully good with cars.?
He said, ?Yeah I know was it three years ago
That talent put you behind bars.?
She said, ?Give me the job I?ll rebuild that old Dodge
You got sitting there gathering dust.
I?ll fix it for free if you hire me
And if that isn?t reason enough . . .
Sir your sign says . . .

Chorus
. . . Second Chance Salvage
All write-offs welcome here
Doesn?t matter much
Make, model or year
Every die hard that?s in this yard
Is just a victim of circumstance
Give an old part a new start
And you?ll both get a second chance?

Verse
That hit a soft spot so he gave her a shot
And she kept her promise to him
She made that Dodge purr; all you saw was a blur
The day they took it out for a spin
He said, ?How could you see what this old girl meant to me
And what?s more that I?d gamble on you?
She said, ?I had a sense you could look past the dents
And me and this car have a few
Your sign says . . .

Repeat chorus
Bridge
?Out of control,? he said,
?I crashed this Dodge and could?ve killed someone
This car I wrecked showed me what I?d become
But no life is beyond salvage in this world
Mine or yours or even this old girl?s
Like the sign says . . .
