Still Taking Chances - Michael Martin Murphey

I knew when I met you something was going to happen

My life was off balance, nothing had been going right

You said, What’s a lonesome cowboy like you doin' in the city?

I said, I don’t know but I guess I’ll find out tonight

Still taking chances

Taking candy from strangers

Speedin' up on curves

Ignoring the dangers

Feel like a fool learning new dances

It keeps me on my toes

Still taking chances

Ain’t scared of winnin'

Swingin' for the bleachers in the ninth inning

Still taking chances

Before chances take me away

Before chances take me away

Maybe I should have thought it over when you said, «Will you join me later?»

I said, Honey I don’t know if it’s right

But when you turned and walked down the street, I followed

I felt like I was following a truckload of dynamite

Still taking chances

Taking candy from strangers

Speedin' up on curves

Ignoring the dangers

Feel like a fool learning new dances

It keeps me on my toes

Still taking chances

Ain’t scared of winnin'

Swingin' for the bleachers in the ninth inning

Still taking chances

Before chances take me away

Before chances take me away

Been three years now since we got together

You took a chance on me

Now I’m out here taking chances for you

I’ll get through

Still taking chances

Taking candy from strangers

Speedin' up on curves

Ignoring the dangers

Feel like a fool learning new dances

It keeps me on my toes

Still taking chances

Ain’t scared of winnin'

Swingin' for the bleachers in the ninth inning

Still taking chances

Before chances take me away

Before chances take me away

I’m still taking chances

Before they take me away

Take me away

Take me away

Give me a chance now, darlin'

Yeah, I’m still taking chances

Still taking chances

Still taking chances

Alright

Still taking chances
