I Take My Chances lyrics

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
