They say it ain't meant to be

a city girl and a country boy like me.

Well I'll take my chances.

They say I'll get a couple weeks of riding high,

then a sudden change of heart goodbye,

but I'll take my chances

Yeah, I'll take my chances, think the payoff's worth the risk.

But if the dice don't roll my way and a broken heart is all I get

I'll take my chances and go,

long with my heart and my soul,

retrace this old dead end road and find what I've been chasing.

Somewhere between now and then,

I might make the wrong turn again.

Girl, I'm a big boy you know,

I'll take my chances and go

The way you smile and shake your head, I don't buy what everybody says,

yeah I like my chances.

But then again on the other hand,

there's somethin bout your eyes that say you can, do a man some damage

Yeah, I'll take the gamble, you won't leave me high and dry.

But if I feel your leaving coming, you won't have to say goodbye

I'll take my chances and go,

long with my heart and my soul,

retrace this old dead end road

and find what I've been chasing.

Somewhere between now and then,

I might make the wrong turn again.

Girl, I'm a big boy you know,

I'll take my chances and go

Hey, go, let's give us a roll of the dice,

hope they turn up what we like.

And if it turns out they don't,

I'll take my chances and go,

yeah.
