Second Chance in Indiana

Back where the cornfields sway, I learned to find my way

Whispers of the past linger in the summer haze

Rusty trucks and dirt roads, memories I can't hide

Nights lost in bottles, trying to feel alive

Friends slipped away like shadows in the rain

Drowning in a silence only I could explain

But I fought through the darkness, step by step, breath by breath

Smashed the chains of yesterday, escaped from the depths

Now the rivers are running clear, I’ve shed all my fears

The past keeps talking, but I’m finally here

Growing up where the wild corn grows tall

Fighting through the storm till I could stand tall

Rising from the ashes, breaking free at last

Old friends come running, I’ve found my path

Yeah, I’ve built a new life, shining in the sun

From the shadows of the past, I’ve finally won

Growing up in Indiana, where I found my truth

Now I’ve got a second chance, a brand new youth

Whispered prayers in the midnight sky

Lost all I had, but I never stopped trying

New days, new hopes, shadows are gone

In this quiet town, I’ve moved on

And they’re coming back, calling my name

Old friends and new, all the same

From dust to dawn, I’ve made my peace

In this heartland, I’ve found my release
