Michael Martin Murphey Still Taking Chances
I knew when I met you something was going to happen
My life was all unbalanced nothing had been going right
You said what's a lonesome cowboy like you doing in the city
I said I don't know but I guess I'll find out tonight
Still taking chances taking candy from strangers
Speeding up on curves ignoring the dangers
Feel like a fool learning new dances
It keeps me on my toes
Still taking chances ain't scaared of winning
Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th 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 dopn'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
Speeding 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 winning
Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th 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
Still taking chances taking candy from strangers
Speeding 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 winning
Swinging for the bleachers in the 9th inning
Still taking chances before chances take me away
Before chances take me away
