I'll Begin Again

[Verse 1] My first day out it rained, eight years on a chain For a crime that wasn't mine, I did the time As the door swung shut behind me, I was left so lonely No one remembered, no one was there To hear my pleas or hear my prayers [Chorus] I'll begin again, I was headed here from the start I'll begin again, I paid my price for my part I'll begin again, I was headed here from the start I'll begin again [Verse 2] Not a dollar to my name, I suppose I can't complain My life again was mine and that's just fine As I knocked on my mother's door, she didn't live there anymore Second mortgage to fund appeals that got no deal [Chorus] I'll begin again, I was headed here from the start I'll begin again, I paid my price for my part I'll begin again, I was headed here from the start I'll begin again from the start [Chorus] I'll begin again, I was headed here from the start I'll begin again, I paid my price for my part I'll begin again, I was headed here from the start I'll begin again [Outro] I'll begin again (I'll begin again)
