Michael Martin Murphey - Still Taking Chances lyrics

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
