Chances

I’ll take my chances
I believe in dancing
When the times get hard I ain’t afraid to work
I watch the sunrise like it’s the last time

I might ever get to see her smile
I’ll never know
Why I was born to go
But maybe I don’t need to understand it

I’ll take my chances
I watched love die
And I let love go
I’ve been the man with the gun
And the innocent one on the run
I pulled the trigger
On the safest bet
I looked the devil in the eye
And smelled the whiskey on his breath

I’ll never know
Why I was born to go
But maybe I don’t need to understand it
I’ll take my chances
