[00:21.35]I took a walk in the rain one day on the wrong side of the tracks
[00:27.41]I stood on the rails till I saw that train
[00:31.47]Just to see how my heart would react
[00:34.42]Now some people say that you shouldn't tempt fate
[00:38.17]And for them I would not disagree
[00:41.10]But I never learned nothing from playing it safe
[00:44.67]I say fate should not tempt me
[00:47.35]I take my chances I don't mind working without a net
[00:54.10]I take my chances I take my chances every chance I get
[01:02.45]I sat alone in the dark one night tuning in by remote
[01:09.06]I found a preacher who spoke of the light but there was brimstone in his throat
[01:15.25]He'd show me the way according to him in return for my personal check
[01:22.62]I flipped my channel back to CNN and I lit another cigarette
[01:26.87]
[01:27.89]I take my chances forgiveness doesn't come with a debt
[01:34.97]I take my chances I take my chances every chance I get
[01:42.14]
[02:23.94]I've crossed lines of words and wire and both have cut me deep
[02:30.13]I've been frozen out and I've been on fire and the tears are mine to weep
[02:37.68]Now I can cry until I laugh and laugh until I cry
[02:44.31]So cut the deck right in half I'll play from either side
[02:50.00]I take my chances I pay my dollar and I place my bet
[02:56.87]I take my chances I take my chances every chance I get
[03:03.55]I take my chances I don't cling to remorse or regret
[03:10.25]I take my chances I take my chances every chance I get
[03:16.55]I take my chances
[03:30.43]I take my chances
[03:43.75]I take my chances
