Carpenter Mary-Chapin - I Take My Chances Şarkı Sözleri

I took a walk in the rain one day
on 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 light
but there was brimstone in his throat
He'd show me the way according to him
and 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 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
Now I can cry until I laugh
and 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
