I Take My Chances — текст песни (Carpenter Mary-Chapin)

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
