[ Featuring Alison Krauss, Stonewall Jackson ]
I'm always second choice I'm never first with you
Oh how it hurts to see you out with someone new
But I'll wait around while you play around and have your fun
Maybe someday you'll make second choice your one and only one
Just when I think I'm number one I find I'm number two
I feel the pain and hide the hurt that I go through
I live on dreams my precious dreams that never will come true
How long will I be second choice and love you like I do
Though second choice is hard to take I'll never change sweetheart
I'll always be around to play the loser's part
I'll swallow pride and lock inside the heartaches that I feel
How long will I be second choice with the love so real
I'm always second choice...
