Karaoke Track: I Take My Chances by Mary Chapin Carpenter (Pocket Songs) - Karaoke Nerds

I Take My Chances

Words and Music by
M C. Carpmwrccc D Schlitz

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, for them
I cannot disagree

I take my chances
I take my chances

Every chance I get

I sat alone
In the dark, one night

Tuning in by remote

lfound a preacher
Who spoke of the light

But there was
Brimstone in his throat

He'd show me the way
According to him

In return for my
Personal check

lflipped my channel
Back to CNN

And I lit another
Cigarette

ltake my chances, yes

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

But I can cry
Until I laugh

Or laugh until I cry

So out 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
Yeah, I don't cling to

Remorse or regret
I take my chances

I take my chances
Every chance I get

I take my chances
I take my chances
