Original Blues, Rock & Country for the Soul
Story behind the song
A song commissioned by our friend Dieter as a surprise wedding gift to his lovely new wife Petra.
This is the first wedding song we have written and it was a joy to record with the specification that it should be in the style of some of our rock & blues songs and with a strong ZZ Top flavour!
This week we were thrilled to hear the wonderful news that Dieter & Petra are now happily married to each other for the second time after spending 21 years apart. We wish them all the very best for many years of happiness ahead, fun, laughter, friendship & rock n' roll!!
Lyrics
'Second Time Around'
Well we were young, hot headed n' stoopid
We ran around n' got ourselves married
We rocked n' rolled, we were crazy
Did we make a mistake, well just maybe!
Well nothin' lasts 'til it's meant to be
And me n' Petra weren't ready
But that's all changed in our memory
Cos it's second time, second time around.... n' it's heavenly!
Well she was young and cool, she was beautiful
But I was young too n' we broke the rules
We spoiled for fights n' we fell apart
And for 20 years we were miles apart!!
But it seems true love won't go away
You push it back n' it comes again
It finds you, binds you, makes you say
Those special words on your wedding day!
Cos it's second time, second time around.... n' it's heavenly!
They say all good things are worth waitin' for
Ain't that the truth now I'm at your door
Oh my girl you're my life, my heart
Let's play for keeps no more years apart!
Oh you n' our Sally we'll rock n' roll
You're my world, you're my very soul
Time is nothing we're here to stay
To have and hold each n' every day
Cos it's second time, second time around.... n' it's heavenly!
Well our lives ain't always been fun n' games
N' we had our share of the blues n' pain
But here we are, we're a family
And we'll stick together eternally
Oh no more pain, no more time apart
On our wedding day we will be one heart
Oh just one life we must make it true
Forever now, just me n' you
Cos it's second time, second time around my girl, n' it's heavenly!
