Day's work had left me weary Went home, got into bed Wasn't a long time later I got my second wind Went down to see the fellas They cheered as I walked in Poured me a drink of whiskey I got my second wind I had been feeling badly Worries filled to the brim Once I poured out my heartache I got my second wind I felt my luck start turning I had to go all in Suddenly I was living I got my second wind Tomorrow I'll be hurting I will be on the mend Tonight it don't much matter I got my second wind If your life has no colour You'll lie in your deathbed And leave the window open Wanting a second wind
