I thought of "I'm Going Back on the Bicycle". So I looked the song up on Mudcat and found it in a thread of lyrics by Tommy Sands. I think "Back on the Road Again" and "Your Daughters and Your Sons" could also qualify as songs of second chances (or new beginnings). See the post by Guest, Marian on 6 Oct 2001 at https://mud"cat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=11591#2183141   Also The Music of Healing", posted in the same thread in April 2006.

How about "If you miss me at the back of the bus?". The "Digital Tradition" transcription of the last verse seems strange. I know it as:

If you miss me in the cotton fields,
you can't find me nowhere,
Come on over to the courthouse
I'll be voting right there.

I'd like to find some songs about second chances. These are not restricted to second chances at love, but "The Second Time Around" or "If I Could Stay Away" are the first two I've found.
