Biografía:
Jeff Bates doesn’t cherry pick his life for the high spots. Whether he’s writing or singing a song, he’s always emotionally honest. You heard that quality in such of his RCA Records hits as “The Love Song,” “Rainbow Man,” “One Second Chance,” “I Wanna Make You Cry” and “Long Slow Kisses.”
Now comes the compelling CD, Jeff Bates, the singer’s debut collection for the Black River Music Group. Jeff’s was the guiding hand in 10 of the album’s 13 songs.

G
It says here you're from Houston
D/F#
You're certified to drive a truck
Em D C
It doesn't say what you been doin' the last five years
G
Then I watched his eyes keep readin',
D/F#
then I watched his eyes look up
Em D C
And watched another job I needed disappear
C
'Cause when they get to the line
G
Have you been convicted of a crime?
C G/B
They say Thanks for comin' in,
Am G/B
an' they don't call you back
C G/B Am
I ain't askin' for every job under the sun
D G
I just want one second chance
G D/F#
On August 22nd, little Jacob's turnin' five,
Em D C
But his Momma moved him half a state away
G
I left another message
D/F#
on her phone at home last night
Em D C
And she finally had her lawyer call today
C G
She knows I can't afford to take this thing to court
C G/B Am G/B
And I'm tryin' hard to make her understand
C G/B Am
I ain't askin' for every weekend of every month
D G
I just want one second chance
C
I was young and I was stupid
G
I regret it every day.
C G/B
I ain't sayin' I didn't do it
Am D
but I've paid for my mistakes
C
It's a lost and empty feelin'
G D/F# Em
when they don't want you around
C
Yeah, I finally got my freedom
D
but what good is it now?
C G Am G/B C
G
There's some days when it feels like
D/F#
it's been a hundred years
Em D C
Sometimes it feels like only yesterday
G
We were paintin' Jacob's nursery
D/F#
Countin' days till he was here
Em D C
Next thing I knew, I'd thrown it all away
C
Now I know I can't go back
G
to the life I used to have
C G/B Am G/B
When I still held the whole world in my hands
C G/B Am
I had a job, I had a wife, I had a son
D
Now I just want one
G
