I took a walk in the rain one day on the wrong side of the tracks[00:00:15]
I stood on the rails till I saw that train[00:00:21]
Just to see how my heart would react[00:00:24]
Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate[00:00:28]
And for them I would not disagree[00:00:32]
But I never learned nothing from playing it safe[00:00:35]
I say fate should not tempt me[00:00:39]
I take my chances I don't mind working without a net[00:00:42]
I take my chances I take my chances every chance I get[00:00:49]
I sat alone in the dark one night tuning in by remote[00:00:57]
I found a preacher who spoke of the light but there was brimstone in his throat[00:01:04]
He'd show me the way according to him in return for my personal check[00:01:11]
I flipped my channel back to CNN and I lit another cigarette[00:01:19]
I take my chances forgiveness doesn't come with a debt[00:01:24]
I take my chances I take my chances every chance I get[00:01:31]
I've crossed lines of words and wire and both have cut me deep[00:01:55]
I've been frozen out and I've been on fire and the tears are mine to weep[00:02:01]
Now I can cry until I laugh and laugh until I cry[00:02:08]
So cut the deck right in half I'll play from either side[00:02:15]
I take my chances I pay my dollar and I place my bet[00:02:21]
I take my chances I take my chances every chance I get[00:02:28]
I take my chances I don't cling to remorse or regret[00:02:36]
I take my chances I take my chances every chance I get[00:02:43]
I take my chances[00:02:50]
I take my chances[00:03:04]
