| Lyrics |
I took a walk in the rain one dayon the wrong side of the tracks
I stood on the rail 'til 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 would not disagree
But I never learned nothing from playing it safe,I say fate should not tempt me
I take my chances, I don't mind working without a net
I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get
I sat alone in the dark one night,tuning in by remote
I found a preacher who spoke of the lightbut there was brimstone in his throat
He'd show me the way according to himand return for my personal check
I flipped my channel back to CNN and I lit another cigarette
I take my chances, 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 wireand both have cut me deep
I've been frozen out and I've been on fireand the tears are mine to weep
Now I can cry until I laughand 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, I can't cling to remorse or regret
I take my chances, I take my chances every chance I get
I take my chances
