I Take My Chances lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics 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 song lyrics
