lyrics

take my chances
by and by
I have walked these streets
like
a million times
I will
take my chances
I'll be fine
don't you worry darlin'

I took my chances crossing burning bridges
I took my chance then
I'll do it again
I will take my chances
I'll be fine
don't you worry darlin'

I paid my tab then
I flipped over the table
got myself kicked out
just because
I was willing and able
to reject my jury
to choose my fate
to find my way out before it was too late

I took my chances earning five and dime
I took my chances I paid for my time
I didn't mind it
the quietest way
I just dreamed

I wandered the streets of this holy town
holy vacant sidewalks
holy rumbling sound
holy hawks a climbin'
the holy wind
holding hands of strangers
absorbing their sin
holy rolling idols
in their holy houses
all perched above me
and holding me down
where I held my baby
pulled in my doubt
we're going crazy
but we're holding out
I will take my chances
retrace my steps
I'll take my chances
on promises kept
I'll take my chances
and do it again
don't you worry darlin'
