mary chapin carpenter - i take my chances (live - one night lonely) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i took a walk in the rain one day
on the wrong side of the tracks
i stood on the rails 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 nothing from playing it safe
i say fate should not tempt me

[chorus]
i take my chances
i don’t mind working without a net
i take my chances
i take my chances every chance i get

[verse 2]
i sat alone in the dark one night
tuning in by remote
i found a preacher, he spoke of thе light
but there was brimstone in his throat
and hе’d show me the way according to him
in return for my personal check
i flipped my channel back to cnn
and i threw away my cigarettes
[chorus]
and i take my chances
yes, forgiveness doesn’t come with a debt
i take my chances
i take my chances every chance i get, you bet

[verse 3]
i’ve crossed lines with words and wire
both have cut me deep
i’ve been frozen out, i’ve been on fire
and the tears are mine to weep
now i can cry until i laugh
or laugh until i cry
so cut the deck right in half
i’ll play from either side

[chorus]
and 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
[outro]
mmm
i’ll take my chances
