Second Time from Second Time by Paul Ryan
12. Second Time (Time 2:38):: This is one very happy guy. He is getting back together with a long-lost love after they had a rocky stretch and have been apart for a while. But he’s on top of the world as he drives back to her. This song is also the tittle track of the album.

Lyrics
1. The early morning fog was lifting
Driving on a switchback road
An old song played to my tapping finger
Playin’ on the radio.
2. We had a fight, words were spoken
The magic left without a trace
But now I know just where I’m goin’
Can’t wipe this grin off my face.
CHO Like a circle closing
Like a fire that keeps you warm
Like a voice inside gently calling
The second time …. better than before.
3. Passing farms and picket fences
I thought about a gambler’s creed
Behind bad luck, if you take your chances
What comes next is twice as sweet
4. Sunday coffee, trading glances
I’m twice the man I used to be
I do believe in second chances
One for her, one for me.

Paul’s music can be described as a “multi-decadal bridge” between the traditional folk music of the 60’s to acoustic country & Americana music of today.
Old protest songs have been replaced by a more “country” feel. The long neck banjo has been replaced with the more driving three-finger style. And instruments like autoharp are replaced with the dobro, or mandolin. Paul's career spans both eras.
