Lyrics

When You Have a Chance


It was late at night it was cold as ice
Runnin? from a man called Jebahdie
Rollin? down highway fifty five
Sometimes it seems like you?ve got no chance

Gas was low and so was hope
She stopped and pumped some gas though she was broke
Jenny was planning to drive away but Mary got out cryin? for food
Sometimes it seems like you?ve got no chance

A man walked up and he stared at the both of them
Jenny thought he?d come for money she didn?t have
Instead he swiped his own card through the pump
Happened just when she thought they had no chance

The man walked back into that convenience store
Mary was still cryin? Jenny sat there shakin?
Then the man came back with a bag of food
Happened just when she thought they had no chance

Jenny tried her best to thank the man
But he just shrugged and said I once walked in your shoes
I once begged for food and all I ask
You help someone else when you have a chance

Jenny saw the moonlight on the water
She felt the wind like a whisper
The ice in the trees began to dance
She?ll help someone else when she has a chance
