I Take My Chances

In the style of

Mary-Chapin Carpenter

Lyrics

i took a walk
in the rain one day
on the wrong side
of the tracks

i stood on the rail
till i saw that train
just to see
how my heart
would react

now some people say
that you shouldn't
tempt fate
and for them
i cannot disagree

but i never learned
nothin' from
playing it safe
i say fate should not
tempt me
i take my chances

i don't mind workin'
without a net
i take my chances
i take my chances
every chance i get

i sat alone
in the dark one night
tunin' in by remote
i found a preacher
who spoke
of the light but
there was brimstone
in his throat

now he'd show me
the way
according to him
in return for
my personal check
i flipped my channel
back to cnn and
i lit another cigarette

i take my chances
yes forgiveness
doesn't come
with a debt
i take my chances
i take my chances
every chance i get

i've crossed lines of
words and wire and
both have cut me deep

i've been frozen out
and i've been on fire
and the tears are
mine to weep
but i can cry
until i laugh or
laugh until i cry

so cut
the deck
right in half
i'll play
from either side
i take my chances

i pay my dollar
and i place my bet
i take my chances
i take my chances
every chance i get
i take my chances

yeah i don't cling to
remorse or regret
i take my chances
i take my chances
every chance i get
i'll take my chances

i'll take my chances
